A man in an orange-saffron robe sits on an ornate gold throne upholstered in red and zebra-striped cushions, his palms raised in front of his chest in a blessing gesture. He wears a rudraksha mala and a small red bindi, and his hair is long and swept back. The throne is garlanded with red and green flower strands, and vases of orange and yellow marigolds stand on white pedestals at either side. A golden trident rests against the blue and rocky painted backdrop on the right. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron robes and a rudraksha mala, and is the central honoured figure on the throne.
