A seated man on an ornate gold throne with a carved golden backrest and red curtain behind him, wearing a maroon-brown robe, gold chain necklace, and a long pink-and-gold garland. He has long dark hair, a white and red forehead marking, and a beard, smiling as a man in a white kurta with an orange-red shawl bends forward and reaches to touch the seated man's head in a blessing-like gesture. Gold figurines flank the throne and a white cutout board is in the foreground. The seated man has distinctive long hair, a garland and a saffron-toned robe on a throne, which is a compatible presentation with several cues, so this appearance-based candidate is Swamiji (probable).
