A seated man in a saffron-red wrap sits on an ornate gold throne decorated with red and white flower garlands, against a backdrop of gold peacock-motif panels and pink drapes. He has long dark hair and a red forehead mark, and his bare feet rest on a red cushion. Three people bend toward him in a padapuja-style gesture: a woman in a white sari with gold bangles touches his feet, another woman in a white garment bends forward, and a man in a striped shirt leans in. On the right, a man in orange robes holds a brass item. The figure on the throne matches the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues of long hair and saffron clothing, shown here receiving devotees in a seated role.
