A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate carved wooden throne with a gold-leaf arched backrest and golden lion-shaped armrests. He has his palms pressed together in namaskar and eyes closed, wears a long multicolour flower garland and a white beaded mala, and a red bindi on his forehead. His bare feet rest in a silver tray of rose petals and offerings during a padapuja, with brass bowls and flowers on the floor. A chandelier-lit hall with potted plants and a gold-gilded backdrop surrounds him. Identified as Swamiji (probable) based on the saffron robes, long swept-back hair, rudraksha-style beaded mala and flower garland seated on the throne.
