A seated man sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a red velvet cushion, hands folded in his lap. He wears an orange turban with a jewelled ornament, a lilac-purple silk garment with an orange shawl, layered gold necklaces, and gold armbands. A gold lion-faced carved backrest and a gold bull-like sculpture stand beside him, with orange drapery and garlands of marigolds behind. The probable Swamiji candidate is shown seated in an honoured position with clear cues: orange turban, ornate gold ceremonial jewellery and a shawl.
