A man with long swept-back hair, eyes closed, sits on an ornate gold throne carved with lion heads and leopard-print cushions. He wears a rust-red robe, a long gold rudraksha-style mala and a gold bracelet, and his bare feet rest on a gold platform before a tray of flower petals. Probable Swamiji: long hair, ornate gold seat, saffron-red robe and ceremonial gold necklace. Beside him hang brass bells and a lamp, with a gold-trimmed silver staff and a tray of brass vessels on the right.
