A bearded man seated on an ornate gold-and-maroon throne with plush maroon cushions, smiling and holding a tall silver staff upright in his right hand. He wears a crown-like gold headpiece, a white-and-pink flower garland, a heavy gold necklace with pendants, gold armbands and bangles, and an orange-brown dhoti-style wrap. An orange cup sits on a small wooden side table beside him. Behind him, a deity murti in a gold crown is dressed in a yellow cloth and surrounded by red and yellow marigold garlands, with brass oil lamps standing on either side, and a blue sequined backdrop hangs above. Swamiji (probable): the seated man's ornate gold crown, distinctive heavy gold necklace, flower garland and throne presentation are visible cues.
