A seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a carved peacock-style backrest sits with eyes closed in a red-walled room. He wears a tall black turban, a red-orange robe, a rudraksha mala, a long gold necklace with a large gold pendant and a floral garland of pink and white flowers. Beside him a bare-chested man in a yellow cloth and layered beads sits on the floor, and a standing attendant in a red robe and striped gold dhoti stands behind a small table with a water bottle. A seated man in a yellow and white dhoti sits at the right, and a white electric fan stands against the wall. The figure on the throne matches the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues of a turban, ornate gold ceremonial jewellery and a garland, so this is presented as a probable identification from appearance only.
