A smiling man with long swept-back dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead sits on a gold-carved throne with a red cushion, wearing an orange-saffron garment and a thick garland of white flowers, red roses and green leaves. Two devotees tie a gold ceremonial thread or chain around his neck; a woman in a yellow-gold top leans in at left and a man in a white shirt with an orange shawl stands at right. Behind them stands a backdrop of yellow and marigold flower decorations and a decorated panel. Gold ceremonial necklaces and rudraksha beads are visible. The man is an appearance-based Swamiji (probable) given his long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha and gold adornments, being honoured on the throne during the birthday celebration.

Three people surround them: a woman in a yellow sari at left, a man in white with a gold ring and watch reaching in from the right, and a woman in orange at lower right handling a small silver vessel and offerings. Another smiling man in orange and white stands at upper right beside a floral arch of marigolds and red-and-white draping.
