A smiling man stands barefoot on a red cushion in front of an ornate golden throne with lion-head armrests and a golden canopy overhead. He wears a white turban, a pink and blue embroidered long kurta with sequins, a striped grey-blue dhoti, and a long grey shawl, with a multicolour garland of white, purple, red and green flowers around his neck and gold ornaments. His palms are pressed together in namaste. Behind him a man in white raises his arms, and a girl in red and a woman in orange sit to the side, with flower arrangements at the edge. Swamiji (probable): the figure is a long-haired, turbaned man in ornate saffron-free ceremonial dress with a garland and gold ornaments, standing before a throne as a honoured guest.
