A seated figure sits on a red and gold throne with lion-shaped gold armrests and a tiger-striped base, beneath a multicoloured umbrella with tassels and a silver-leaf backdrop. He wears a long white-and-pink floral garland, a tiger-patterned top, rust-orange trousers and a red tilak on the forehead; his eyes are closed and hands rest on the armrests. Flower arrangements with white blooms surround the dais, and a red carpet with a small orange cushion lies in front. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace and saffron-toned ceremonial dress with the throne setting are the distinguishing cues.
