A seated man in long orange-saffron robes sits on an ornate gilded golden throne with lion-head feet and carved floral backrest, a black eye mask being adjusted over his eyes. He has long dark hair in a topknot, a full beard and a rudraksha-style mala. Behind him a shaven-headed attendant in maroon-brown robes reaches over him to fix the mask strap, and a second attendant in orange stands at right beside an elderly bearded man in orange. Colourful floral garlands in red, yellow and green hang on pillars behind, with purple draped backdrop. Swamiji (probable) appears to be the central seated figure, shown by saffron robes, long hair, beard and mala beads.
