A seated figure on an ornate gilded throne with a high carved back, flanked by golden lion sculptures and draped with leopard-print cushions and a tiger-striped cloth. The seated man wears a saffron-orange wrap, a golden crown-like headdress, multiple gold necklaces and bangles, and holds his hands on his lap. Hanging brass oil lamps and bells descend from above, a silver staff stands in front, and a brass tray of flower petals and marigolds rests to the right against a wall of small lit lamps. Probable Swamiji seated on the throne in saffron wrap, golden crown and ceremonial gold necklaces, with a visible tiger-skin cloth and lion-backed throne.
