A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a cobra-hood backrest and red cushions, raising one hand in a blessing gesture and smiling. Long dark hair and a beard frame his face, with a red tilak on his forehead and a rudraksha-style mala visible. Behind him a large dark deity murti with a crown and ornate jewellery stands before a starry cosmic backdrop, flanked by garlands of orange, white and green flowers. A golden trident leans to the left and a pink floral offering sits at the lower right on a red-and-purple draped stage. Seated figure matches the Swamiji (probable) cues of long hair, saffron clothing, mala and throne.
