A seated man in a rust-red robe sits on an ornate golden throne carved with lions and a flaming halo-like back, draped with a leopard-print cushion and a striped tiger-skin seat. He wears a pink and white flower garland, a gold chest ornament and gold necklaces, with a tilak on his forehead, and his hands rest in his lap. To the left, a figure in an orange robe with long dark hair raises an arm beside a silver staff with a curled top. To the right stands a painted statue of a deity with a raised hand holding an object and green and orange cloth. Gold bells hang above the throne, and flower offerings lie at its base. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identified by his distinctive ceremonial gold necklaces, rust-red robe and swept-back hair cues.
