A seated man in a red-maroon turban and saffron-red robe sits on a red velvet chair before an ornate gold throne with carved relief. He wears a long gold-bead necklace and gold armbands, smiles, and holds a small metal instrument over a tray with pink flowers on a red-and-gold cloth-covered table. Flanking him are gold lion statues, a peacock-feather fan, a silver trident and a black serpent-entwined staff. Purple-lit red drapes stand behind. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), with long swept-back hair absent but a turban, ornate gold necklace and saffron clothing present; a single seated figure performing a ritual act. Scene suggests a ceremonial puja setting.
