A man sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a red cushioned seat, wearing an orange-saffron dhoti-style garment with a bare upper body and a long beaded gold-toned mala necklace. His hands rest in his lap and a red tilak marks his forehead. Behind the throne stands a deity murti pair draped in dense garlands of yellow, red, purple and green flowers, with ornate silver jewellery and a gold crown, beside a gold bull statue. A gold trident stands at the right edge of the throne. The Swamiji (probable) label applies to the seated man, whose long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and beaded gold mala are the visible cues; he is the main subject of this darshan-style setting.
