A bare-chested man with a tall black turban-style crown of hair and a white vertical forehead mark sits before an ornate gold throne-like seat with repoussé floral scrollwork and a deity face motif. He wears a long rudraksha-style mala necklace and a red-thread wristband, and he holds food between his fingers over a large ornate silver bowl containing rice and other offerings. A small metal cup sits on the table at right, and a brass lamp stand is partly visible at the edge. The man's appearance matches the Swamiji (probable) cues of a tall crown of hair, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold seat, consistent with a pinda tharpana offering.
