A seated man in a saffron-orange robe sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion arms, draped in a leopard-print cushion and a tiger-skin cloth. He wears a pink and white flower garland, a gold necklace and a gold crown-like headpiece, with bare feet on a gold platform. Swamiji (probable): long hair swept back, saffron robe, ceremonial gold necklace and garland, seated on a throne. Flanking him are two large painted gold-and-orange temple guardian figures with multiple arms, holding ritual objects, in a temple setting with hanging gold bells and lamps above. The gold throne is placed in the sanctum of a temple-style hall.
