A seated figure on an ornate golden-and-leopard-print throne, flanked by two large gilded lion heads. The figure wears a maroon turban with a jeweled brooch, a maroon robe, a dense gold bead necklace with a red-and-pink flower garland, bangles and rings, and holds a gold staff topped with a bird finial. Behind is a backdrop of yellow flowers and jeweled, sequined panels. Swamiji (probable): the figure is a long-haired presenter in saffron-maroon ceremonial dress with a turban and layered gold necklaces, seated in a place of honour as a teacher would be during a discourse.
