A smiling man seated on an ornate gilded throne with lion-head armrests and a gold-carved arched backrest, wearing a gold crown, a red tilak on his forehead, a rudraksha bracelet on each upper arm, and orange saffron robes. He wears layered garlands of white flowers and pink and red blossoms. Behind him stand large painted deity figures with red garlands and a golden spear. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne; the appearance-based cues are the saffron robes, rudraksha bracelets, ceremonial gold crown and layered garlands. A ceremonial white-and-gold scene shows him in the role of seated pontiff.
