A seated man sits on an ornate golden throne with a large gilded backrest carved with floral and figural motifs, flanked by golden lion-head armrests draped with striped tiger-skin cloth. He wears a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with gold trim, a long rudraksha-style bead mala, a gold necklace, gold bangles and earrings, and a red tilak on his forehead. Hanging brass oil lamps and dark beaded strands decorate the grey stone wall behind him. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, wearing saffron-orange clothing, a rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace, with hair swept back and a crown-like ornamented setting around him.
