A smiling man with a short beard and eyes closed sits on an ornate silver throne with lion-shaped armrest carvings and a leopard-print seat cushion. He wears a tall gold crown, a saffron-red robe bared at the shoulders, gold bangles, a gold necklace with a large pendant, and layered garlands of pink and white flowers. A silver staff rests beside him, and a small framed photo sits on a side table at his right. Behind the throne are red-lit stage backdrops. Appearance-based cues of a probable Swamiji include the gold crown, saffron robe and ornate jewellery, so the seated figure is labelled Swamiji (probable).
