A seated figure in maroon-brown robes and a rust-coloured turban with gold ornaments sits before a large carved relief of figures and a raised limb in warm orange tones. He wears layered gold necklaces, a deity pendant, rudraksha malas and gold armbands, with a red bindi on his forehead. He smiles broadly and raises both hands, palms turned upward in a teaching gesture. Gilded lion-head armrests flank the seat, and green foliage appears at the lower right. Probable Swamiji cues: turban, ornate gold jewellery and rudraksha malas, seated as a discourse speaker.
