A man stands before a gilded throne-like backdrop framed by a dense arch of marigolds, red, pink and purple flowers and green leaves. He wears a cream-coloured turban with a red bindi on his forehead, a white draped cloth over his shoulder, and multiple tiers of large gold beaded necklaces with a gold pendant. He is smiling and looking to the side. The scene appears to be a formal garlanded reception. Swamiji (probable): the man wears a turban, ornate gold necklaces and a white ceremonial wrap, and is the honoured figure before a floral throne arch.
