A seated man in a rust-orange robe with a gold crown-like headdress and gold necklaces, a rudraksha mala and gold armbands sits on a leopard-print cushioned throne with golden lion-head armrests in front of a large ornate gold backrest. He has a white tilak on his forehead and long swept-back dark hair, holding a red rudraksha mala. Two women in white garments with red beads sit at his feet, one smiling at the camera and the other looking down. A woman in a white and green sari with red beads stands at right, and a man in white dhoti with rudraksha beads stands at upper left beside a framed painting. Kalasha-like golden objects and books appear in the foreground. This is a pratyaksha padapuja setting with the seated figure appearing to receive devotees. Swamiji (probable) seated as the central figure with long swept-back hair, orange robe, gold ornaments and rudraksha mala.
