A bearded man seated on an ornate gold throne holds up a tall silver ceremonial staff with engraved floral motifs in his right hand. He wears a rust-brown turban with a crescent ornament, a rust-brown robe, layered gold necklaces, gold armbands and bangles, and a long pink lotus garland draped across his chest. A gilded lion figure stands at the left of the throne, and a tiger-striped cloth lies beneath him. Flower garlands in yellow, white and red rest in front of the throne against a blue striped backdrop. The gilded throne back shows a carved deity panel. Swamiji (probable): the man has long swept-back hair, a crown-like turban, ornate gold jewellery and a rudraksha-style ceremonial presentation, seated as a central figure.
