A seated man on an ornate silver throne with leopard-print cushions holds a tall silver staff topped with a finial. He wears a golden crown, rust-orange saffron cloth draped over his shoulders and bare chest, a heavy gold necklace with rudraksha-style beads, and beaded arm bands. A vermilion tilak marks his forehead. Behind him is a painted backdrop of a large gopuram temple tower, and a silver plate with offerings sits at the left edge beside a fan. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, ornate gold adornments and a crown, and is positioned on a throne as the event page indicates.
