A smiling man sits on an ornate golden throne with red cushions and a carved gold backrest. He wears a cream turban with a jewelled ornament, a cream dhoti and shawl, a long red and white beaded mala with gold accents, and gold armbands and bangles. A brass oil lamp with a swan-shaped top stands beside him, with a second lamp behind, and marigold-like flowers sit at the base of the throne. Warm pink and orange light flares across the frame. The man's appearance, with his turban, ornate garments and mala, fits the Swamiji (probable) candidate in this sacred throne setting.
