A smiling man with shoulder-length dark hair and a red bindi sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, raising his right hand in greeting while holding a white feather fan in his left. He wears an orange-saffron robe and a long white and red flower garland, with a small bead garland at his neck. Behind him the throne is framed by fresh yellow, red and purple marigold and flower garlands, a carved golden deity murti, and colourful festival banners with geometric patterns. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron robe, rudraksha-style beads and throne placement match the presentation, so the figure is. Crowd members in the foreground are partly visible.
