A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne draped with white and red flower garlands, raising both palms outward in a blessing gesture. A red tilak mark is on his forehead and a white-and-green garland hangs across his chest. Behind him, painted plaster rocks and two painted-and-jeweled deity murti stand, one with a crown and raised hand, the other with a tall green crown. A red-and-black tiger-striped cushion rests on the throne, and a bright red fruit sits on a side table. Swamiji (probable) is identified by the saffron robes, long swept-back hair, and garland cues, seated as the central figure in a satsang or discourse setting.
