A seated figure on an ornate leopard-print throne with a gold lion-head armrest, in front of a large jewelled backdrop trimmed with white and red-yellow flower garlands. He wears a black turban, white and red forehead markings, a dark red-orange robe, a red and white flower garland, a gold necklace and gold bangles, and holds a small card. Behind him, a standing person in a rust-coloured robe with rudraksha malas stands beside a golden shrine structure. On the right, a woman in white with a red blouse leans forward, and other devotees in white and orange garments stand nearby. The figure resembles the Swamiji (probable) in appearance: a turban, ornate ceremonial clothing and gold jewellery, seated as the central figure in a satsang or darshan setting.
