A seated man in orange-saffron robes and a long dark swept-back hair, wearing a gold necklace, a rudraksha-style mala and gold bangles, sits on a large ornate gold throne with a tiger-striped cushion before a deep purple curtain. He holds a small red and gold object while a priest in orange dhoti and shawl, with a shaved head and white tilak marks, offers him a silver tray. A second priest in rust-coloured robe bends at left, and a woman in a white sari with gold border stands at right. Swamiji (probable): the seated man shows long swept-back hair, saffron robes, rudraksha mala and gold necklaces, seated in the honoured position on the throne.
