A man stands in front of an ornate gilded throne with carved lion-figure armrests and a backrest, beneath a canopy of orange-gold leaves with hanging bells. He wears a deep maroon turban with a jewelled ornament, a leopard-print wrap around his waist, layered gold and beaded necklaces, and a maroon shawl over his shoulders. His right hand is raised in a blessing gesture while his left hand holds a tall golden trident. A brass oil lamp stands at right against a blue backdrop with a stylised emblem. The style suggests a stage setting for a darshan. Swamiji (probable) is visible in the centre, identified by the turban, saffron-maroon ceremonial clothing, gold necklaces, and the trident.
