A seated man in a rust-red and orange-bordered dhoti and shawl sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head armrests and a tiger-striped cloth draped over the seat. He wears a thick orange-and-gold beaded necklace and a forehead marking, with a bell-topped brass lamp hanging above. The throne is set in a dark-walled hall. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair and a ceremonial gold necklace with a saffron garland, seated in the position of honour on the throne.
