A bearded man with long dark hair sits on an ornate throne backed by a large jewelled arch decorated with red, blue and green stones and yellow and white flower garlands. He wears a rust-brown robe with gold trim, a gold crown, a white flower garland, layered gold necklaces and gold bracelets, and holds a tall silver trident beside him. Two golden lion figures flank the throne, which has leopard-print cushions. The setting is a festival stage heavily decorated with marigolds and white blossoms. Swamiji (probable) is seated as the central figure, identified by the swept-back hair, crown and ornate robes, and the scene suggests a temple or ritual celebration.
