A man in a red-orange saffron robe with a gold-bordered dhoti sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head armrests and a zebra-striped cushion. He wears a red-orange turban with a small silver emblem, a red bindi, and a long gold-and-beaded garland, and raises his right hand in blessing. Before the throne stands a gold pedestal laden with silver trays of red flowers, lamps and offerings, with bells and a lamp at the sides. The appearance is consistent with the Swamiji (probable) cues of a turban, saffron clothing and ceremonial garland, seated in a presiding role for a pada puja.
