A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe and matching turban sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, under a gold canopy topped with a finial. He wears a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, and gestures with one raised hand. A gold trident stands beside the throne. To the left, a deity murti with a gold crown is garlanded in multicolour flowers, and to the right another garlanded murti stands on a gold pedestal before a peacock-motif gold canopy, with brass lamps in front. Red velvet drapes form the backdrop. Swamiji (probable): the saffron turban, orange robe, rudraksha mala and gold necklace on a throne fit the appearance-based cues, so the seated figure is labelled as a probable candidate.

He wears a heavy gold necklace and a red-brown bindi, and gestures with both hands while speaking. A gold trident stands to the right of the throne, and a tiger-striped cloth covers the seat. The setting resembles a stage or hall.
