A man seated cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a red velvet cushion, smiling with eyes closed while holding a long golden rod or staff across his lap. He wears a royal blue silk garment with gold border and a yellow waist cloth, multiple strands of rudraksha and white beaded necklaces, bangles on both arms, and a red bindi on his forehead. Behind him, a large red and gold backdrop shows temple-style pillars and a crowd silhouette. Swamiji (probable): the figure has long swept-back dark hair, ceremonial gold and rudraksha adornments and a throne-seated stance, so the appearance cues are distinctive. Limes sit on a tray at the left edge and a water bottle at the right.
