A seated man on an ornate golden throne with a hooded cobra backrest and a peacock feather at the top, draped over a red tiger-striped cushion. He wears a cream headband or turban with a gold band, a red bindi, a pink satin shawl over one shoulder, gold necklaces with green stones, red beaded malas, gold bangles, and yellow silk trousers with a dark border. He holds a bamboo flute in one hand and gestures open-palmed with the other while smiling. The background is a warm orange gradient. The printed copyright and source caption runs vertically along the left edge. The swami's appearance matches a distinctive cluster of cues (ornate golden throne, peacock feather, malas, gold jewellery), so this is a probable depiction of a person seated in an in-person setting.
