A man seated on an ornate gold throne with a red cushioned seat, raising both palms in front of his chest in a blessing gesture. He has long dark hair, a full beard, white vibhuti marks on the forehead and a red-brown robe. He wears a long garland of white jasmine and pink-and-white flowers, layered gold bangles and armlets, and a rudraksha mala. Behind him stand colourful floral garlands in yellow, orange and purple, and a brass oil lamp is visible at the left edge. The setting appears to be a temple-style hall decorated for a ritual gathering. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, rudraksha mala, gold ornaments and seated throne are the cues, and he is the central figure receiving honour in this scene.
