A bearded man with long dark hair sits cross-legged on a golden throne with a tiger-skin cushion, beside a golden bull statue (Nandi). He wears a red-orange turban, a red-orange cloth, a tiered gold necklace and gold armbands, and holds a tall golden trident. A white fan-shaped ceremonial object and a water bottle sit near him. Behind him are red drapes and hanging orange and blue tassels; the seated audience of many people, some with palms joined, fills the foreground. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, a turban, ornate gold jewellery and saffron-coloured clothing, and is presented as the central figure on the throne.
