A man with long, swept-back dark hair sits on a silver-embossed throne draped with a striped tiger-print cloth, raising a silver trident in his right hand and holding a long black staff in his left. He wears an orange-brown robe with yellow border, a rudraksha-style white bead mala, gold armbands and a gold chain, with a red tilak on his forehead. Behind him stands a bright red, yellow and green umbrella with tassels and a painted bird emblem, and a tall painted cylindrical banner with floral patterns. Two men in white dhotis and orange cloth stand nearby, and marigold petals are scattered on a patterned blue cloth at his feet. Outdoor setting with bright sky. Swamiji (probable) seated on the throne, identified by long swept-back hair, orange robe, mala and gold ornaments.
