A seated man with closed eyes sits on an ornate gold throne with repoussé floral and scroll carving, dressed in a deep maroon turban with a fan-pleated top and gold stripe, a maroon-and-gold shawl over bare shoulders, and multiple rudraksha malas with a gold-beaded bracelet on his upper arm. He wears a red bindi, white ash markings on his forehead and arms, and a small clip-on microphone near his face. Behind him stands a gold-brass oil lamp on the left and a painted figure with raised hand on a blue-green wall. Swamiji (probable): long-haired, rudraksha malas and a maroon turban and shawl give the candidate cues, shown in person seated on the peetha.
