A seated man in an ornate silver throne with lion-carved armrests and leopard-print cushions sits centrally with palms pressed together in greeting, eyes closed and smiling. He wears a golden crown-like headpiece, a red-orange ochre robe, a long multicolour floral garland of red, pink and white flowers, rudraksha bracelets and a gold pendant. A small silver stand holds an orange cup beside him, a silver staff rests at his left, and a silver footstool sits before the throne. Behind is a large backdrop of a temple gopuram tower in white and red. Swamiji (probable): the orange-ochre robe, gold crown, rudraksha malas and ceremonial garland on the throne suggest a seated guru. Stage setting with a red carpet beneath.
