A smiling man in a rust-brown and gold-bordered dhoti and shawl stands centrally on a gilded throne platform, palms raised in greeting. He wears a striped orange-and-gold turban with a red stone ornament, a multi-strand rudraksha mala, and bangles. Behind him is a gold-framed backrest with carved lion heads, red tiger-striped cushions and a tiger-skin throne cloth. Two painted deity figures with crowns, one holding a flame and one holding a trident-like staff, flank the throne, and a low gilded footstool sits in front. Bright painted temple columns frame the scene. Probable Swamiji by his orange turban, rudraksha mala, and ornate shawl, seated at the centre of the throne.
