A man with long swept-back dark hair and a beard sits on an ornate silver throne with a carved floral backrest and lion-shaped armrests, cushioned with leopard-print pillows. He wears a saffron-orange robe draped over his shoulders and bare arms, hands resting together in his lap. Beside the throne stand a silver trident and a ceremonial staff. The backdrop is a large screen showing a painted river-ghat cityscape with temple towers and figures on steps. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron robe and a throne setting, presented as the seated central figure.
