He wears an orange-saffron robe with yellow borders, layered beaded necklaces and a rudraksha-style mala, gold bangles and earrings, and a red bindi with white tilak on his forehead. A tall brass lamp stands at right, a silver tray of yellow flowers sits below, pink flowers decorate the throne, and a carved stone temple pillar and trees form the backdrop. Swamiji (probable) is seated in this scene, identified by the saffron robe, long swept-back hair, ornate beads and throne cues.
