A seated man in an orange-saffron turban and saffron robe with a yellow sash sits on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions and golden lion-face armrests, before a golden arched backrest. He wears a long gold-beaded necklace, rudraksha-style beads, bangles, and a red-and-white tilak on his forehead, and smiles with his hands resting on the armrests. On either side stand painted multi-armed deity statues in pink and green dhoti-style garments with gold jewellery and crowns, holding ritual implements. A tiger-striped cloth covers the base of the throne, and a gold-and-red dais lies below. Probable Swamiji cues: the saffron turban, orange robes, rudraksha-style necklace and throne seating are distinctive, though the face is not used for identification.
