A seated man in a rust-red saffron-toned robe with a long rudraksha mala and gold ornaments on the chest sits on a red-cushioned silver throne with a carved lion-head armrest, smiling and raising one palm toward a bare-chested devotee in a white dhoti who bows with hands folded. Two attendants stand behind in patterned headwear and beaded necklaces. A gilded carved wall and a sculpted golden figure form the background. A red tilak mark is on the forehead of the seated figure, and he wears a gold necklace. The seated figure matches Swamiji (probable) on appearance cues: long swept-back hair, saffron robe, rudraksha mala and gold ceremonial ornaments, while the bowing devotee and attendants are identified only by role.
