A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on a red velvet throne with gold lion-head armrests and a large gold back panel with a crescent motif. He wears a multi-coloured flower garland, rudraksha malas, a gold pendant, bangles and a white vibhuti marking with a red kumkum dot on his forehead, and his hands rest on the throne arms. Beside him on the red dais sits a young boy in a cream embroidered sleeveless tunic and red dhoti. Behind them stand a gold trident and sword, brass oil lamps and a painted forest-and-temple backdrop. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears saffron robes, long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and a ceremonial gold necklace on a throne.
