A seated man on an ornate gold throne with a red-and-gold cushioned seat raises his right hand in a blessing gesture and smiles. He wears a cream turban with a jewelled ornament, a lime-green silk garment with a red and green border, multiple rudraksha malas and beaded bracelets. In the foreground, a figure in orange robes with a bare back faces him from the left. Brass oil lamps with lit flames stand nearby against a dark stone wall. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identified by the turban, saffron-free but ornate silk clothing, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold seating; the orange-robed figure appears to be a devotee or attendant.
