A seated man in saffron-red robes and a matching red turban sits on an ornate silver throne with leopard-print cushions, with a silver trident beside him and a silver lion figure at the base. His hands are raised to his head as a lit oil lamp or flame burns beside him, and a red-and-white flower garland hangs over his chest with a rudraksha-style necklace. Standing at left, a young attendant in orange-red cloth with bare chest and white markings on the skin holds a small flame-related object toward him. A decorated stage backdrop with a temple-tower motif fills the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure wears saffron-red robes, a red turban, a garland and ornate gold necklaces on the throne, a distinctive ceremonial presentation.
