A seated man in a maroon-red turban decorated with green leaves and a white feather sits on an ornate gold throne carved with lion heads and floral scrollwork. He wears a reddish-orange silk shawl over bare shoulders, layered gold necklaces, a gold armband and a gold bracelet, and has a red tilak on his forehead. He raises one hand in a gesture while speaking, with a leopard-print cushion beneath him and a wicker side table in front. Appearance-based candidate: Swamiji (probable), identified by the distinctive turban, shawl and gold adornments.
