A seated man sits cross-legged on an ornate gilded throne with carved floral backrest, raising both palms in a blessing gesture while smiling. He has a white forehead band with a red bindi, long dark hair, earrings, and wears a bare chest adorned with multiple strands of gold and beaded necklaces, a large gold pendant and rudraksha malas, with a saffron-brown dhoti. Golden standing statues flank the throne: a four-armed deity on the left and a figure playing a veena on the right, with golden parasol-like arches behind and gold drapery in the background. Swamiji (probable) is shown in appearance, with cues of long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold necklaces and rudraksha malas, seated as the central figure of the scene.
