A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha-style necklace of gold beads sits on an ornate golden throne draped with a tiger-skin cloth and flanked by golden lion heads, backed by a floral arch of red, purple, yellow and white garlands. Beside him, two deity murtis in silver-gold ornaments and garlands stand under a gold arch, one in white and gold dhoti-like dress, the other in a pink and magenta sari. Behind them a painted backdrop shows a multi-armed deity figure. A satsang setting is suggested by the throne arrangement; the man is a probable Swamiji by his long hair, saffron robe and ornate adornments, seated on a throne in an appearance-based cue match.
