A man seated on an ornate golden throne with a tall gilded crown-shaped backrest, framed by a semicircular arch of red, pink, yellow, purple and green flower garlands. He sits with palms pressed together in greeting, wearing a reddish-brown robe, a long gold chain necklace, a white and pink flower garland, and bangles. Hanging brass oil lamps with lit flames hang above and beside him, and lion-faced golden armrests flank the seat. Wall-mounted brass lamps and a striped yellow and blue pillar appear in the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, a red forehead mark, a gold chain and a flower garland, and is positioned on a throne as the honoured teacher.
