A seated male figure with a tall black swept-back hair crown and white forehead paint with a red bindi sits in padmasana on a dark maroon velvet cushion before a gilded throne. He is bare-chested, wearing a tiger-striped gold cloth over saffron-brown lower garments, with multiple rudraksha mala necklaces across his chest and a sacred thread. His palms are pressed together in anjali mudra with a smile. Flanking him are golden deity murtis: a four-armed figure on the left and a veena-playing goddess on the right, both draped in garlands of pink, white and dark bands. Gold kalasha-style umbrellas, a brass oil lamp and gilded lion-head pedestals complete the setting, backed by gold-embroidered maroon and orange silk drapes. Probable Swamiji by appearance: the crown, bare torso, rudraksha malas and tiger-striped cloth are distinctive visible cues.
