A seated man on an ornate gilded throne (peetha) with a dark turban, white forehead marking and a red-and-gold patterned cloth draped over his lap, bare-chested and wearing a long rudraksha mala and a gold pendant necklace. He raises one hand in a blessing gesture and smiles. Behind him stand gold deity statues: a figure holding a lotus-like object on the left and a figure playing a veena on the right, with gold kalasha-topped standards and a lamp stand beside the throne. Swamiji (probable) is the seated man, identified by the turban, rudraksha mala, ceremonial gold necklace and ornate throne setting. A small copyright line appears in the lower corner.
