A seated man sits on an ornate golden throne with a tall arched back and carved lion-head armrests, set on a tiger-skin cushion with a red velvet base. He wears a saffron-orange shawl over the shoulders, a bare chest, an orange-brown dhoti with gold border, a heavy gold necklace with pendant, gold armbands and bangles, and a red tilak on his forehead. Flanking him are two large painted deity figures with multiple arms, holding ritual objects, in orange and green dhotis with gold belts. The background shows painted blue and pink pillars with ornamental details. The page-flagged candidate has long swept-back hair and saffron clothing with distinctive gold ornaments, so he is identified as Swamiji (probable) seated in a satsang setting.
