A seated man in red robes sits on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions and carved lion-head armrests, against a painted forest backdrop. He wears a red turban with a red bindi, a red shawl draped over the shoulder, a pearl necklace and a long gold chain with a pendant, and a gold armband. His hands rest clasped in his lap. Two people in the foreground, one at left and one at right, pour liquid from small vessels over offerings on a gold tray in front of the throne, with pink lotus flowers, apples and silver bowls visible. Probable Swamiji is seated in the centre, as the appearance cues of long swept-back hair, turban, saffron-red clothing and gold necklaces are present.
