A bare-chested man with closed eyes and a faint smile stands before an ornate gold throne with carved scrollwork, a large gilded backrest and a golden kalasha-like finial. He wears a rust-brown turban with a gold ornament and a long strand of beads, a white tilak on his forehead, and a saffron-orange shawl draped over one shoulder. His right hand is held open at chest height in a gesture of blessing. To the right stands a gold deity murti with a tall crown, multiple arms and a trident-like weapon. The background is a deep blue to magenta gradient, and small gold ceremonial staffs flank the throne on the left. Swamiji (probable) is identified by the turban, saffron shawl, gold ornaments and throne setting. Appearance-based identification only.
