He sits cross-legged on a red cushioned throne draped with a tiger-striped cloth, backed by an ornate gold carved panel. Garlands of white flowers hang on gold poles beside him, with a brass trident and a brass oil lamp stand at left. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, turban, ornate gold necklace and saffron-red clothing are the qualifying cues.
