A man with long dark hair and a red bindi sits on an ornate golden throne decorated with rows of red, yellow, white, green and purple flower garlands. He wears a white dhoti and shawl with gold borders and a heavy gold bead necklace, and his right hand is extended in a gesture while he rests a blue object on the cushion beside him. Bare feet rest on a red cushion scattered with petals. The gilded throne with lion-head armrests and a fan-shaped flower backdrop suggests a ceremonial seat at a festival. Swamiji (probable) appears to be seated on the throne, identified by the long hair, gold necklace, and ceremonial white and gold attire.
