A seated man in an ornate gold throne is central to a stage setting under a tent canopy. He wears an orange saffron dhoti and shawl, a gold necklace, a rudraksha mala and a garland of marigolds, with long swept-back hair and a crown-like headpiece. The throne is draped with red and white flower garlands and a floral footrest garland sits in front of it. A bald man in white ritual dhoti kneels at the left edge, bowing toward the throne, and a bald man in orange robes sits at the right, both appearing to pay respect. A banner with Tamil script and a portrait of a deity form appears behind. Probable Swamiji (probable) seated on the throne, identified by his orange clothing, rudraksha mala and long swept-back hair.
