A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne with carved gold filigree and a gold crown-shaped headpiece. He wears layered garlands of white jasmine and red-pink flowers, a rudraksha mala and gold necklaces, gold bangles and several rings, and has a white vibhuti line and red kumkum on his forehead. Behind him a painted deity figure holds a trident and a bell-like object, and a water bottle sits on a side table at right. The scene resembles a seated dais honour in a temple or ashram hall. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has a crown, saffron robes, rudraksha mala and gold necklaces on a throne, so the appearance-based candidate is shown in person.
