A man in a rust-orange and brown draped robe stands before an ornate golden throne with a gilded arch, raising one hand in a blessing gesture. He wears a long gold-beaded necklace and a large ceremonial pendant, with a red tilak on his forehead and hair swept back. Behind him stands a seated deity figure and a gilded ornate throne with brass lamps and a golden kalasha-like finial at the top. Two golden lion sculptures flank the platform, and a small golden figure rests at the lower right, with a trident-like staff at left. Swamiji (probable): the man has long swept-back hair, saffron-orange ceremonial clothing, rudraksha-style beads and a gold necklace, and is presented as the central figure on the peetha.
