A seated bearded man in orange-red silk robes sits on an ornate silver throne with leopard-print cushions, smiling with eyes closed. He wears a golden crown, a red tilak, gold beaded necklaces with a gold pendant, gold armbands and bracelets, and holds a tall silver staff. Multi-coloured flower garlands of white jasmine, red roses and yellow marigolds hang from his shoulders to his feet, where a red rose bouquet rests. A partially visible person with folded hands in prayer appears at the lower left edge. The silver-embossed backdrop is elaborately carved. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identified by the crown, orange clothing and gold adornments.
