A smiling man in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged on an ornate golden throne with red tiger-striped cushions, a golden lion footrest at each side and leopard-print skins on the floor. Three strands of beaded rudraksha-style malas hang across his chest, with a gold-toned ceremonial necklace and gold armbands. Two tall painted statues of deities with multiple arms and golden crowns flank the throne, and a wooden panelled door stands behind. The scene is a dais setting in a temple hall. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold adornments.
