A seated man with long, swept-back dark hair sits on a red, tiger-striped throne with gilded lion-head armrests, smiling with eyes lowered. He wears an orange embroidered kurta with a matching orange shawl, red trousers, a gold ceremonial necklace and a red tilak on his forehead. Behind him a deity murti is framed by garlands of yellow, white, red and purple flowers, with a green backdrop and a golden oil lamp with a lit flame at right. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, orange and gold ornate clothing and gold necklace on a throne are the cues, seated as the central figure of a ceremony.
