A seated man in a dark red-orange robe sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a leopard-print cushion and a tiger skin draped over the platform. He wears a pink and white flower garland, a gold chain with a pendant, and has a vertical tilak on his forehead; his hands are raised in a blessing gesture. Two painted deity figures with multiple arms and gold crowns flank the throne on either side, and gold bells hang from chains above. Two seated devotees in white, shown from behind, sit in the lower foreground near the platform. The gilded throne and tiger skin suggest a darshan or satsang setting. Swamiji (probable): long hair, saffron-toned robe and garland cues; the man on the throne is an appearance-based candidate.
