A seated man in a rust-red saffron-toned robe sits on an ornate gold throne with a carved backrest and a lion-head armrest, draped with a leopard-print cushion and a tiger-striped seat cover. A long pink and white flower garland hangs over his chest with a gold pendant, and he wears a gold necklace and a gold crown-like headpiece with a tilak. Flanking him are two painted standing deity murti with multiple arms, holding ritual objects, and a row of brass oil lamps and small offerings sits on the gold pedestal. Hanging brass bells and beaded strands frame the throne. A probable Swamiji appearance is seen in the seated figure, given the throne, saffron-orange robe, garland and crown-like headpiece.
