A man with a swept-back dark hairstyle and a red tilak on his forehead sits eyes-closed on an ornate gilded throne with red cushions. He wears a flowing saffron-orange robe draped over his shoulders and a long dark rudraksha mala. Behind him is a dark stone shrine with carved relief figures and a small lit lamp, and a red-and-orange curtain hangs at right. Fruits and flowers rest on the gold-trimmed side table beside the throne. Swamiji (probable): the seated saffron-clad figure with swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and a throne fits the description, but the appearance is only partly visible, so the identity is treated as probable rather than confirmed.
