A seated man in a rust-red and saffron robe sits cross-legged on an ornate golden throne with lion-shaped armrests, placed on a tiger-skin-draped platform. He wears a long rudraksha-style gold-bead necklace, bangle-like armbands, earrings and a tilak with a red dot on his forehead, and his hands rest on the armrests. Behind him rises a tall gilded arched backdrop with floral carvings, flanked by pastel green, pink and blue pillars and lit oil lamps on brass stands. Swamiji (probable) is shown in this description based on the long swept-back hair, saffron-toned clothing and ceremonial gold necklace, with the throne setting.
