A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a matching orange turban sits on an ornate gold throne with a carved back, draped with a zebra-striped cloth. He wears a long beaded mala and a gold necklace, with a red-orange shawl over his shoulders, and a forehead marking. A shaved-headed priest in an orange cloth kneels at the left, holding a lit flame over a vessel as part of a ritual. Brass bells hang at the top and gold-painted pillars frame the scene. The seated figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), based on saffron clothing, turban, shawl, beaded mala and gold necklace, seated in a place of honour.
