A seated man in a blue draped garment and multiple beaded rudraksha malas raises his right hand in blessing on an ornate gold throne with a carved gold backrest and cushioned gold armrests. A small red mark is on his forehead and he wears gold bangles and a pearl-and-bead necklace with a red pendant. In the foreground at the lower edge, a partly visible priest in white clothing and a woman with hair tied back sit facing him, with flowers and a lit lamp placed at the base of the throne. Probable Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas, and blue ceremonial dress seated on a throne as the honoured figure.
