A bare-chested man with a tall black turban-style hairstyle sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with his palms pressed together in namaskar and eyes closed. He wears a white forehead band with a red bindi, a tiger-striped cloth around his waist, and multiple rudraksha mala strands across his chest. Golden deity statues flank the throne, including a standing figure on the left and a figure holding a veena on the right, both draped with multicolored flower garlands. A brass lamp stands in front of the throne, with gold and purple drapes and an orange brocade backdrop behind. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identified by the distinctive turban-style hair, rudraksha malas and ornate ceremonial setting.
