A seated man in an orange-brown saffron-toned robe sits on a red-cushioned gold throne in an ornate golden temple hall. His hair is pulled back in a knot, he wears gold bangles on both arms and a brown rudraksha-style beaded garland across his chest, and one hand rests on the head of a carved wooden lion beside the throne. Behind him are carved golden pillars and a painted panel of a goddess playing a veena. A circular rangoli of coloured powders lies on the floor, with a lotus-shaped offering nearby. The appearance-based label for the central figure is probable Swamiji (long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and gold ornaments), seated in a presiding role on the throne.
