A seated man in a rust-red dhoti and shawl sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with leopard-print cushions, a gold lion figure at his side, and small oil lamps and flowers arranged at the base. He wears a red tilak, a rudraksha-style necklace and gold chain, and his long hair is swept back. Flanking him are two painted deity murti figures with multiple arms, holding ritual objects, and hanging bells and brass lamps frame the throne. Probable Swamiji is seated on the throne as a physical presence, identified by the cues of swept-back hair, rudraksha and ceremonial necklace, and saffron-red robes.
