A seated figure in a rust-red turban and rust-red robe with gold-edged sash sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne with carved gilt backrest and red zebra-print upholstery, wearing layered beaded necklaces and a red bead bracelet, with a bindi and sandalwood marks on the forehead. A man in a white striped shirt with an orange shawl kneels beside the throne, one hand resting on the armrest and holding a folded paper. Behind them are a gold lion-shaped footrest, a trident leaning against a patterned wall and a gold-framed backdrop. Swamiji (probable) is the seated throne figure, identified by the turban, saffron-toned robes and layered mala necklaces; the kneeling man is a devotee.
