A smiling man sits on an ornate gold throne with a carved high back, decorated with marigold and rose garlands and a peacock-feather fan at the side. He wears a magenta head wrap, a pink shawl over the shoulder, a yellow silk dhoti with a maroon sash, a pink ruby-and-emerald necklace and layered gold jewellery, and rests his feet on a red cushion on a gold footstool. Overhead hangs a gold canopy. The appearance is consistent with the probable Swamiji cues of a crown-like head wrap, ornate clothing and ceremonial jewellery, seated as the honoured figure on the throne.
