A man seated on a gold-carved throne reads a handwritten letter held in his right hand while smiling and raising his left hand near his mouth. He wears a bright orange turban with a jewelled brooch, an orange shawl, a dark navy garment, and a long rudraksha mala with a gold bead centrepiece. Heavy garlands of white jasmine, pink and yellow marigolds surround his neck and shoulders. The background shows a gold-patterned backdrop and a blue starry curtain. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, orange turban, orange shawl, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace, seated in a presiding role.
