A seated figure in an ornate gold throne with a tiger-skin cushion sits in a doorway framed by painted deity figures, with brass oil lamps hanging from chains above. The seated person wears a rust-orange garment, a green-beaded mala, bangles and an orange tilak, and holds palms together in greeting. In the foreground a kneeling priest in orange-saffron robes with white painted arm markings offers a flaming aarti lamp toward the throne. Offerings and a brass plate lie at the bottom of the frame. The seated person's appearance, with long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and orange robes, is a probable match for Swamiji (probable) in the throne-room setting, though the appearance is not fully certain.
