A seated man on an ornate gold throne waves his right hand in greeting while smiling. He wears a gold crown, an orange saffron garment with a gold-bordered shawl, and a gold necklace with a pendant, plus a white and red marigold garland. Gold lion figures flank the throne, which is backed by a golden arch with a peacock feather at its side. An orange and gold canopy hangs above, draped with white flower garlands, and the dais is decorated with red, yellow and purple marigolds. The appearance matches the Swamiji (probable) cues of a crown, saffron clothing, and gold necklace, though the identification is not certain from the image alone.
