A man seated on an ornate gold-leafed throne with a red velvet cushion, in front of red drapes. He wears a rust-brown robe with a gold-edged dhoti, a pink and white flower garland, and a dark rudraksha-style beaded necklace, with a red tilak on his forehead. He raises a silver trident in his right hand and gazes upward, while a tiger-striped cloth rests on the throne. Bronze lamps and a blurred orange-clad attendant appear at the foreground edge. The scene suggests a stage ceremony with a seated teacher holding a trident in darshan. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), seated in person, with long dark hair, a beard, saffron-brown robe, garland and trident cues.
