A smiling bearded man in a rust-orange turban with gold jewelled ornaments sits on a gold-ornate throne, wearing layered gold beaded necklaces, a large gold pendant and an orange-brown shawl over the shoulder. Behind him, two men in white dhotis with gold borders and rudraksha malas stand near a brass oil lamp and a gold-decorated seat, one with white ash markings on the forehead. A red velvet cushion and a gold-carved backdrop fill the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears a turban, ornate gold necklaces and orange-saffron clothing on a throne, seated in the position of honour. The two standing men appear to be priests or attendants. Other visible elements are a brass oil lamp and gold ritual objects in a temple-style setting.
