A seated man in a red turban and red robe with a gold-coloured shawl edge sits on an ornate gold-and-brown throne with lion-head armrests, one hand resting on his cheek and the other holding a silver staff topped with a trident. A red bindi marks his forehead and he wears a large golden pendant on beaded brown necklaces. Behind him stand two gilded deity murtis: one holding a trident with a red turban and the other adorned with layered gold and pearl necklaces, flanked by a silver curtain. A small brass oil lamp stands at the right edge beside pink fabric. The man is a probable Swamiji by his saffron-red robes, turban, rudraksha-style beaded malas and ceremonial gold pendant, seated in a stage setting with deity figures behind him.
