He wears layered gold necklaces, a red tilak on his forehead, and bangles. Gold lamp stands with rooster finials flank the throne, and a backdrop shows a painted sunlit river scene with a deity figure on the right. A small floral offering sits at the base of the platform. Swamiji (probable) appears as this figure, identified by the red robe and turban, ornate gold throne, and gold necklaces with the backdrop of the Dhyanapeetam-style setting.
