A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron robe and a white and pink flower garland, sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with red cushions in front of a stone temple shrine. Behind him stands a deity murti with a crown and a gold-framed arch, decorated with marigold garlands. Orange curtains frame the scene, and a gold footstool rests on an orange cloth. Gold lamp stands flank the shrine and carved stone pillars rise on each side. The ornate throne, saffron clothing and long hair are appearance cues that the man may be Swamiji (probable), seated in person.
