A seated man in a red-orange robe sits on an ornate gold throne carved with lion heads and draped in leopard-print and tiger-skin cushions, with a gold crown and long dark hair. He wears a gold beaded necklace with a large pendant, gold armbands and a red-and-gold waist sash. Behind him hang brass bells and oil lamps. At the lower right, a shirtless attendant with white vibhuti on his forehead sits with his hands folded near silver plates of offerings and flower petals, in a puja setting. The seated figure has distinctive long hair, a crown and ceremonial gold necklaces, so this is an appearance-based probable Swamiji (probable) seated in a ritual throne setting, with the attendant performing puja.
