A man seated on an ornate gilded throne with a tiger-striped cushion, backed by a large gold carved backrest and a brass umbrella overhead. Hanging brass oil lamps and dark wall panels with small lamps surround him. He wears a rust-brown robe with a gold border, a red and yellow beaded garland, a gold pendant necklace, and gold armlets. A red-and-white ritual mark is on his forehead. Two hands rest on the armrests and a bed of flowers and offerings lies at the base of the dais. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair, gold necklace and garland on a throne-seated figure in saffron-brown ceremonial dress. Seen as a physical person in the scene.
