A smiling man with long dark hair and a cream turban with a jeweled ornament sits on an ornate gold throne flanked by carved golden lion figures. He wears a red and yellow marigold garland over a green and gold garment, with gold bangles on his arms and a rudraksha mala at his chest, holding a silver ceremonial staff in one hand. Above him hang brass oil lamps on chains, and the throne backdrop is draped with bands of marigold and white flower garlands in yellow, red, green and purple. Adjacent statues with raised hands frame the scene, and a dark silhouetted head appears at the bottom edge. Swamiji (probable): the seated man is the central figure, with cues including long hair, an ornate turban, rudraksha and ceremonial gold adornment.
