A seated figure on an ornate silver throne with peacock-feather motifs and carved lion heads sits under a floral arch of yellow marigolds and red, white and purple stripes. He wears a red-orange cloth, a long multi-strand garland of white and pink flowers, a beaded necklace and a crown, with hands resting on the armrests. Around the stage, many people in white and blue-white garments sit facing him, some holding oil lamps; one silhouetted figure raises an arm in the foreground. A glowing bokeh backdrop of gold and orange lights fills the background. Swamiji (probable) appears to be the figure on the throne, identified by the orange clothing, crown and garlands on the throne.
