A seated man on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head armrests and a tiger-skin cushion, raising both palms in blessing. He wears an orange-brown robe, a long multi-coloured flower garland, a gold necklace and bangles, and has a tilak and a dark hair bun. Beside the throne stand a silver trident staff and a silver rod, with draped dark curtains and a gold-painted backdrop behind him. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), based on the swept-back hair, orange robe, ornate gold necklaces and trident setting; he is seated as a teacher on a raised throne during a stage event.
