A seated man in a dark turban and rust-brown robe sits cross-legged with eyes closed in meditation on a tiger-skin-draped platform before a large golden-silver relief of a four-armed deity holding a trident-like staff and a book. He wears layered rudraksha malas, heavy gold necklaces, a leopard-print waist cloth, and a red tilak on his forehead. A silver trident stands beside him, and lion and figure reliefs decorate the wall. The setting suggests a stage or altar display. The seated figure appears to be a Swamiji candidate by appearance cues (turban, rudraksha malas, ceremonial gold necklaces, ochre robe), so this is an appearance-based label only.
