A seated figure in orange-saffron robes sits on a gilded throne draped with a tiger-striped cloth, flanked by red cushions. He wears a long red and yellow garland, a heavy gold and beaded necklace, a leopard-patterned chest covering, and gold armlets. He has long dark hair, white and red tilak marks on the forehead, and bare feet resting on small metal stands. He holds a silver trident-like staff in one hand and a folded white cloth or card in the other. A gilded arch with a multicoloured floral garland frames the throne. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure with long hair, ornate necklaces, saffron robes and a trident staff on a throne is a presiding teacher; the appearance cues are several and distinctive.
