A seated figure in orange and gold sits on an ornate silver throne before a painted backdrop of a temple gopuram and night sky. He wears an orange garment, a long white flower garland, a gold necklace, and a golden crown-like headpiece, with one hand raised in blessing. In front of him, a group of devotees sits on striped mats: several shaved-headed men in white dhotis, one man with an orange turban, and women in orange and white saris. A brass railing separates the seated group from the throne platform, and a brass lamp and flower garlands are visible at the left edge. Swamiji (probable): the seated throne figure wears orange clothing, a flower garland, a gold necklace and a gold crown-like headpiece.
