A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gilded throne with a red cushion and a tiger-striped orange cloth draped over the seat. He holds a silver trident upright in his right hand and wears a thick gold-embellished collar, a gold waist ornament, and a long red and pink flower garland. Behind him a circular arch is decorated with marigolds and roses in red, yellow, white and purple, flanked by bamboo plants. A bright red marking is on his forehead and he smiles. Gilded carved panels stand at each side of the throne. The setting appears to be an indoor hall or outdoor stage at night. Visible cues include long swept-back hair, rudraksha-style neck adornment and ceremonial gold necklace, consistent with a Swamiji (probable) seated in a role of honour.
