A seated man in a maroon turban adorned with white and red gemstones sits on an ornate silver throne with a lion-face carving, over a leopard-print cushion. He is bare-chested and wears layered gold and red-bead necklaces, a large gold pendant, armlets, bangles, rings and a maroon dhoti, with a tilak on his forehead. He smiles with hands resting on the armrests. Behind him a golden deity murti in a crown is framed by white and pink flower garlands, with a silver stand holding a steel tumbler to the side. Swamiji (probable): the bare-chested figure wears distinctive gold necklaces, rudraksha-style beads and a jeweled turban, seated in a throne setting.
