A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on a cushioned golden throne before a large floral backdrop of yellow marigolds, white flowers, purple and red blooms and green foliage arranged in an arch. The man has long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi on his forehead, and his hands rest in his lap. The ornate gilded throne has carved scrollwork and a golden lion-like finial at the lower edge. Behind him a red and green draped cloth and a burlap-covered panel form the backdrop. The appearance matches the Swamiji (probable) candidate, with long hair, saffron clothing and a throne setting, presented as a seated guru receiving honour.
