A seated man in rust-orange robes and a matching turban adorned with jewelled brooches sits before an ornate gold throne with intricate repoussé carvings. He raises a gold staff topped with a shivalinga-like finial set with a red stone, and wears a dark rudraksha mala, a heavy gold necklace with a large pendant, and red-beaded bracelets. Swamiji (probable) appears as this figure, distinguished by the swept turban, rudraksha mala, ceremonial gold necklace and saffron-toned clothing, seated in a central throne role.
