A long-haired man in saffron-peach draped robes and a rudraksha-style bead necklace reclines on his side across a gold-ornate throne platform in front of an elaborate gilded throne back decorated with a floral garland of pink, purple and white blooms. A red cushion lies on the seat, and oil lamps and flower arrangements surround the dais. A large portrait of a smiling figure in red and white robes with a bead necklace is behind him. The man appears to be Swamiji (probable), identified by long swept-back hair, saffron robes, rudraksha beads and gold ornaments, and seated on the peetha as the central figure of the satsang setting.
