A smiling man sits on an ornate throne with a large golden scalloped arch and a golden lion at each side, raising one hand in greeting. He wears a gold crown, a rust-red robe with a gold border, and a long brown rudraksha mala with a gold-accented necklace. Behind him a backdrop shows a Bali-style temple, and a printed portrait of a robed man in orange appears at the left edge. A lit oil lamp stand sits in the foreground with a shaved-headed person seen from behind. Appearance-based candidate: Swamiji (probable), seated on the throne in front of the backdrop, with crown, rudraksha mala and ceremonial dress as cues.
