A bearded man with long swept-back dark hair and a white tilak with red bindi sits on an ornate golden throne-like platform, holding a silver trident in his right hand and resting his left arm on a golden lion-head armrest. He wears a crown-like gold headpiece, a brown-orange robe draped over bare shoulders, a thick white flower garland, multiple gold chains, and a large ornate gold pendant with a lotus-style motif. Behind him, large decorated deity murtis wearing jewelled crowns, gold ornaments and embroidered orange and maroon silk sit on a glittering golden dais. Swamiji (probable) appears here as a seated figure with saffron-brown robes, rudraksha-style mala beads, ceremonial gold necklaces and a crown, shown seated in person.
