A seated figure in orange robes sits on an ornate silver throne before a large backdrop of stylised temple gopurams under a starry night sky. He wears a yellow crown, a white flower garland and a gold pendant, and raises his right hand in blessing while holding a staff. Around him sit devotees in front of a brass railing: men in white dhotis with bare upper bodies and shaved heads, and women in red and orange saris. Brass vessels and offerings lie in the foreground. Swamiji (probable): the throne-seated figure with crown, orange robes, rudraksha-style garland and ornate gold necklace is visible in appearance, so the depiction is an in-person candidate.
