A seated figure with long dark hair under an orange-red turban, bare-chested with a leopard-print or tiger-patterned garment and many gold necklaces and bangles, sits in a meditative pose with palms pressed together in namaste on a tiger-skin-covered seat. A tall golden trident stands to the right and a large gold bull statue (nandi) is to the left. A crowd of devotees in white, saffron and orange clothing fills the hall in front of him, with a camera on a tripod at the upper left and a blue-white drape backdrop. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, orange turban and ornate gold jewelry, seated in an honoured position on the throne with a trident and nandi, marked as a probable match by these cues.
