A seated man with palms pressed together in namaskar and eyes closed sits on an ornate golden throne (peetha) with red tiger-striped cushions and a tiger-skin mat beneath. He wears a rust-brown dhoti with a yellow border, bare-chested, with a long rudraksha mala and gold ceremonial necklaces, gold armbands and bangles, and a red bindi. Gold lion-head armrests flank the throne, and painted deity murti figures with raised hands appear at the edges. A probable Swamiji is seated in this image, identified by swept-back long hair, rudraksha mala, gold ornaments and ceremonial throne cues.
