A seated man in a rust-orange turban with a gold ornament and a red feather, wearing rust-orange robes, a long gold bead necklace and pink-and-white flower garlands, sits smiling on a throne with red tiger-striped cushions. Behind him is a large floral backdrop of red roses, white and yellow flowers and green leaves arranged in a symmetrical pattern. Gold lion-like armrest carvings flank the seat. Swamiji (probable) is shown in this appearance-based identification, with a turban, saffron-orange ornate clothing and a rudraksha-style gold bead mala as qualifying cues, seated in a position of honour during a temple event.
