A smiling man seated on a gold-ornate throne, wearing a tall gold crown with a sunburst back, white jasmine garland, gold necklaces and bangles, red kumkum and white tilak on his forehead. Beside him, a man in saffron robes with a gold-beaded mala stands with hands together, and another attendant in saffron holds a golden vessel at the right edge. A figure in the left foreground extends an arm toward the seated man. Gold-embroidered throne fabric fills the background. Swamiji (probable) appearance cues: ornate gold crown, jasmine garland and gold jewellery on the seated figure, consistent with an honoured guest of a ceremonial welcome.
