A person seated on an ornate gold throne with a carved gilt backrest and lion-headed armrests, draped with a tiger-striped cloth. The seated figure wears a rust-red turban, a rust-red shawl over a dark patterned garment, and a long rudraksha mala, holding a small golden ritual implement in one hand. Hanging brass oil lamps and bells frame the throne, flanked by painted deity figures with raised hands. Several people in the lower foreground sit facing the throne, including one bald figure in orange robes and a woman with hair in a bun. The seated figure is a candidate for Swamiji (probable) on the basis of the turban, rudraksha mala and rust-red robes, and the throne setting, a sitting and appearance-based label rather than confirmed identity.
