A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with carved arch and lion-like side panels, a rudraksha-style bead necklace of wooden beads around his neck, gold bangles on his wrists, and a red bindi on his forehead. Behind him hangs deep blue draped fabric. To his right stand brass oil lamps topped with rooster or peacock figures, and a vase of pink and white flowers sits in front. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha-style beads and gold jewellery, and is seated on a throne as the honoured teacher.
