A seated man in a rust-red saffron-toned dhoti and wrap sits cross-legged on an ornate silver throne with a red velvet seat and sun-face carving, eyes closed, a red vertical tilak on his forehead, long dark hair swept back, and a thick beard. He wears a heavy gold multi-strand necklace with a large gold pendant, gold armlets, and holds a small silver trident-topped staff in one hand while his other hand rests on a wooden table with a drum-like instrument and a black device. A silver ceremonial staff with a trident top stands beside the throne. Around him, seated devotees in white and rust-red clothing sit in a hall with framed photographs on the wall, and a standing fan is at left. Probable Swamiji on the throne, shown with the long swept-back hair, gold ornaments, and saffron-toned wrap.
