A seated man in an orange-saffron turban and saffron dhoti-style wrap with a gold-yellow inner cloth sits on a red-and-black tiger-striped cushion before an ornate gold-leaf throne back. He wears layered gold ceremonial necklaces, a rudraksha-style mala, gold armlets and bangles, a red bindi with a vertical tilak, and a small earring. A brass oil lamp with a lit flame stands beside him, and a gold carved lion-head ornament sits at lower right. Behind him a painted figure raises one arm holding a flame-like object. Swamiji (probable) is seated centrally, with distinctive saffron turban, layered gold necklaces and saffron wrap as cues.
