A seated man on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head armrests, draped in a tiger-skin cloth over the seat. He wears a rust-coloured robe, a large mixed garland of pink, magenta, yellow and white flowers, gold necklaces, bangles and a black hair-bun with white tilak marks. He raises one hand in a blessing gesture while the other rests open on the armrest. A silver trident stands to his left beside a silver staff to his right, and a carved golden backdrop with a gold deity figure frames the throne. Swamiji (probable) appearance cues: long swept-back hair in a bun, rust-coloured ceremonial clothing, gold ornaments and garland, seated in a throne with a trident.
