A man in a white embroidered kurta with a light sash sits on an ornate gilded throne with a red velvet back, beneath a golden umbrella canopy. He wears a white turban with a feather ornament and his palms are pressed together in front of his chest while he smiles. Behind him is a large painted backdrop of deities including Ganesha, a seated four-armed deity in a chariot drawn by white horses, and a figure holding a discus, set against snowy mountains and lotus flowers. A brass ornate lamp stand is visible at the left edge. The seated man is a central figure with distinctive long swept hair, a turban and white ceremonial clothing; the appearance is consistent with the page's claim of Swamiji (probable) presiding at the event.
