A man with long, swept-back dark hair sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, bare-shouldered in a white draped wrap. He wears a heavy gold necklace of bead-like pendants and a gold serpent-shaped armlet, and holds his hands toward a gold oil lamp with a visible flame. Behind him a gold deity murti is decorated with white and red flower garlands. Probable Swamiji: long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold necklace and armlet, and a white wrap on a throne during an oil lamp offering. Setting is a temple-style hall with a deep blue curtain.
