A seated man in rust-red saffron-toned robes sits cross-legged on a tiger-skin-covered platform before a golden stage backdrop with a carved golden lion and a golden bull figure in the foreground. He wears a heavy gold multi-strand necklace, a red tilak on his forehead and a red-orange thread bracelet on his wrist, and holds a small golden plate. Behind him stand golden deity murti statues adorned with gold jewellery, a crown and a trident, and a brass oil lamp is visible at right. Green leafy foliage decorates the stage. Swamiji (probable): the man has long matted dark hair, a full beard and a gold ceremonial necklace with saffron-orange ornate clothing, though appearance alone is not conclusive.
