A seated man in a rust-red sannyasi-style garment sits on a golden throne-like seat within an ornate temple-style stage set. He holds a tall golden trident-topped staff upright in his right hand and rests his left hand on his knee, smiling. Flanking him are large gilded lion sculptures, golden pillars carved with rearing figures, hanging strands of beads and a bell, and brass oil lamps with lit wicks on either side. A golden trident stands at right, and a red and gold kalasha-like vessel sits at lower left on a colourful woven rug. Background panels show painted deity figures with raised arms. Behaviour and devotional setting suggest satsang and teaching. Swamiji candidate: the seated man wears a rust-red robe with a loosely tied wrap, has long swept-back dark hair and a gold necklace, and sits on a ceremonial throne with a trident.
