A seated man in a rust-red saffron turban and matching robe, with a long brown rudraksha-style mala, sits on an ornate gold throne upholstered in leopard-print cushions, smiling. Behind him a standing attendant in a dark turban and red-brown robe holds a rudraksha mala. On the right a man in a white shirt and a yellow-and-orange shawl lifts a gold-bordered red cloth, while other men in white and orange shawls stand near. A gilded backdrop with relief deity carvings frames the scene. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identified by the saffron turban, robe and long mala as the seated figure.
