A man with a red tilak on his forehead and dark rudraksha malas sits on a blue-draped platform in front of a large golden lion or mount figure with yellow marigold garlands. He wears rust-orange robes and a gold chain, and holds a silver staff with a multicoloured floral garland draped over his shoulders. Behind him, an ornate deity murti in gold and blue dress is visible. On the right, a second person in white with an orange-red shawl sits beside him. The man has long swept-back hair and a beard, and his appearance and ceremonial setting fit the Swamiji (probable) label, with the red robes, rudraksha malas and ornate gold necklace as the qualifying cues. The procession setting suggests a deity vehicle.
