A seated man in orange-saffron robes with an orange turban and a pink-and-white flower garland sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, in front of a large painted deity murti with raised hands and a crown, framed by red curtains and a gold leaf canopy. Several seated devotees in white, saffron and gray clothing face the throne from a raised platform, with an oil lamp flame burning on the floor in front of them and a gold railing between. Two framed lotus-and-linga banners stand on either side of the throne. The man is shown as a probable Swamiji by his orange turban, saffron robes, garland and the throne setting.
