A seated man in rust-brown saffron robes and matching turban sits on a gold throne with lion-head armrests and a tiger-skin cushion, before a floral backdrop of yellow, red, white and purple marigold and rose garlands arranged in a fan. He holds a tall saffron-tipped staff upright in his right hand and smiles, wearing layered gold chains, bangles and a rudraksha-style bead necklace. To the right, a woman in white with a beaded necklace reaches toward the robe. Hanging brass bells and red-and-white flower strings frame the top of the image. Swamiji (probable) identifies the seated man, based on the saffron robes, turban, ornate gold necklaces and staff cues.
