A man seated on a golden throne is almost completely buried under heaped marigolds, white jasmine and red roses, with flowers spread across his lap and the seat. He wears a red tilak, a gold necklace and a white garment, and smiles toward the side. Behind him a gold canopy is strung with yellow and white garlands, and a gold trident is set against a yellow flower backdrop. In the background an orange-robed attendant stands, and in the foreground a large woven basket of flowers and a person in an orange robe with a pink-bordered sash are visible. A probable Swamiji is the seated man, with long dark hair, a red bindi and gold jewellery; this appearance-based label is not a confirmed identity.
