A seated man in rust-orange robes sits on a red-cushioned throne decorated with dense bands of red, yellow, white and pink flower garlands arranged in arch shapes. He wears a rust-orange turban with a small tilak on his forehead, long dark hair, multiple strands of rudraksha beads, a gold chain, and beaded wristbands on his upper arms, and his hands rest together in his lap. Silver elephant figures flank the throne, and a silver staff stands at the right edge. Above the garlands is a gilded deity murti. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure is presented as the central honoured teacher, with long hair, rudraksha malas and saffron-orange robes.
