A man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with carved lion figures and a garland of yellow and red marigolds. His hands are pressed together in a greeting gesture and he smiles. Beside the throne stands a brass oil lamp topped with a bird figure. To the right, a painted backdrop shows a figure in blue with a crown, gesturing with an open hand, against a dusk sky of orange clouds. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure wears a saffron turban, saffron robes, rudraksha-style beads and gold armlets, consistent with his presentation on the throne.
