A seated man in a red-orange dhoti and matching shoulder cloth sits on an ornate gilded throne decorated with golden lion figures and leopard-print cushions, with a tiger-striped rug beneath. He wears a heavy gold necklace, a gold crown, a white forehead marking, and red-orange bangles on his upper arm, and holds his hands together in his lap. A bare-chested man in white ritual cloth kneels to the right beside silver trays of offerings and flowers. Hanging brass oil lamps and bells are suspended above, and a brass lamp sits in the foreground. Swamiji (probable) appears to be the seated figure on the throne, based on the saffron-red robes, gold ornaments and crown; the kneeling man is a devotee or priest.
