A seated man in an orange-saffron embroidered silk kurta with a matching orange shawl sits on a red tiger-striped throne cushioned with gold lion-head armrests. Long dark swept-back hair, a crown-like adornment and a gold necklace are visible, and a vertical tilak mark is on his forehead. Behind him stands a large golden deity murti draped in white and multicoloured flower garlands, and a green backdrop hangs behind the throne. To the right, a brass oil lamp with lit flames and orange flowers sits beside him. This appears to be a festival stage setting. Swamiji (probable) seated on the throne, identified by appearance cues: long hair, saffron clothing and ornate gold necklace.
