A seated figure on a golden-backed throne is covered with heaps of white jasmine flowers and garlands in red, pink, orange and yellow. The central person wears a pink and gold turban, a gold necklace with ornaments, and beaded rudraksha-style strands, smiling broadly. A woman in a cream blouse and red-bordered sari kneels at the left, and a man in white kurta with folded hands bows at the right. Yellow marigold petals lie at the front of the throne, and a backdrop with partial lettering is behind them. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated figure, identified by the turban, gold ornaments and rudraksha cues while the woman and man are devotees honouring him.
