A seated man in a rust-orange robe sits on an ornate gold throne with a leopard-print cushion, wearing a long pink and white flower garland, a gold pendant necklace and a rudraksha mala. Gold bells and lamps hang above the throne. Two large painted guardian statues flank him, each with multiple arms, gold jewellery, a crown, pink-red dhoti and green sash, holding ritual objects. Flower offerings and oil lamps sit on the golden platform in front. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure shows long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala, ceremonial gold necklace and saffron-orange robe, so the candidate is shown on a throne and receiving honour; the appearance is recognisable but the figure is a physical person in the scene.
