A seated man in a rust-brown saffron-toned robe and matching brown turban sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions and carved lion-shaped arms. He wears a pink and white braided garland, layered gold chains, a large gold pendant, gold armlets and a tilak on his forehead. Two bare-chested young men in white dhotis with orange-brown shawls sit in front of the throne with their backs to the camera, one with hands joined in prayer. A golden backrest with a circular medallion stands behind him, with hanging oil lamps and bells at the sides. This is a probable Swamiji candidate given the turban, rudraksha-style adornments, gold ornaments and ceremonial saffron-toned clothing, shown on a throne during a pada puja setting.
