A man seated on an ornate gold throne with carved golden lion-shaped armrests, smiling broadly. He wears a red and maroon turban with gold embellishments, a red-orange shawl draped over bare shoulders, a long gold ceremonial necklace of beads, and gold armlets with red bead bands. A red tilak marks his forehead. Behind him stand red velvet drapes and a tall decorated silver pillar. A silver trident and a silver cobra-shaped staff stand at his right side, and a peacock feather fan rests near the left armrest. Swamiji (probable): this seated figure has long swept-back hair, a crown-like turban, ornate gold necklaces, and saffron-red clothing, matching his presentation as the seated guru on the dais. Appears to be a stage event setting.
