A bearded man in a rust-brown turban with a gold ornament and a rudraksha-style mala and gold necklaces sits smiling on an ornate gold throne with red cushions and a tiger-skin cloth. A pink and white flower garland hangs to his lap. Two people in the foreground, one in red-brown cloth, sit facing him near a golden offering tray. Hanging brass bells and small oil lamps decorate the throne area. Appearance-based probable Swamiji cues: turban, ornate gold jewellery, garlands and throne, though this is a probable identification.
