A seated figure sits cross-legged on an ornately carved wooden throne draped with a leopard-print cloth, in front of a large painted backdrop of a banyan tree with hanging aerial roots and foliage. The seated person wears a red-orange garment, a long gold-bead and rudraksha-style mala with a gold pendant, gold armbands, and has a red vertical mark on the forehead; long dark hair falls past the shoulders and the person smiles with hands clasped in the lap. To the right stands a tall golden trident (trishul) and a small potted plant sits beside the throne. Small lit candles flank the base of the throne. Probable Swamiji cues present: long swept-back hair, saffron-red clothing, ornate gold mala and ceremonial throne setting.
