A seated figure on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a garland of red, yellow and purple flowers draped over its back. The figure wears a maroon turban with a jewelled ornament, a green and gold shawl, rudraksha malas across the chest and arms, and sits with one hand raised to the chin. Behind stands a painted deity murti with a tall gold crown, gold armlets, a raised hand holding a small object, and an orange-and-pink lower garment. Pink and green lotus-topped pillars frame the scene. The figure's appearance matches Swamiji (probable) by the maroon turban, rudraksha malas and ornate throne, though the image is in a ceremonial hall setting.
