A man with long swept-back dark hair, a full beard and a bare upper body wearing a rust-red shawl sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with leopard-print upholstery and gold lion-head armrests. He wears a white and orange flower garland, gold necklaces and a bangle, and holds a small trident-like staff beside him. Gold carved panels and hanging tassels in red, green, yellow and white frame the throne. Seated devotees in white and yellow clothing face him, including a man with rudraksha beads on the left. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure on the throne shows long swept hair, a crown-less ornate presentation and gold and rudraksha adornments.
