A seated figure on an ornate gold throne in a shrine, wearing an orange-red turban, an orange-red robe, a gold pendant necklace and a pink-and-white flower garland, with hands raised in a blessing gesture. Two devotees in orange and white kneel before the throne holding a lit oil lamp and offerings. A tiered brass lamp with many flames stands in the foreground, flanked by a brass oil lamp and a bell. Painted deity murtis with multiple arms and gold jewellery stand on both sides, with a tiger-skin cushion on the throne and hanging bells above. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identified by his turban, rudraksha-style garland, ceremonial gold necklace and the throne setting, with appearance cues that are reasonably distinctive.
