Flower garlands rest on a small golden stool below. A leopard-print cushion covers the throne. Behind, a banner shows Tamil script. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), seated on the throne with long hair, saffron robe, rudraksha mala and gold necklace, receiving padapuja from a devotee in orange.
