A seated man sits on an ornate golden throne with lion-form arm supports and a brown leather cushioned seat, eyes closed and one hand resting on the armrest. He wears a dark red-brown robe, heavy gold necklaces with beads and a large pendant, gold armbands and bangles, and a dark braided headdress with a crescent ornament and an orange band, with white and red markings on his forehead. A tall gold staff topped with a trident-like finial stands at left. A crowd of seated devotees fills the blurred background, and a Yamaha keyboard sits at lower right. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identified by the crown-like headdress, crescent, rudraksha-style gold ornaments and ceremonial red robe.
