A man with long dark hair, a white and red forehead mark, and a rust-red saffron-toned shawl sits with eyes closed before an ornate gold throne with a large carved gold backrest. He raises a silver trident (trishul) in his right hand, while his left arm extends outward. The setting has a red drape behind the throne. Swamiji (probable) appears to be this seated figure, based on the throne, long hair, saffron-toned clothing and tilak, and the event context.
