A seated man smiles broadly under a bright, lamp-lit night sky, wearing a tall ornate golden crown and a saffron-orange robe. He is draped in thick layers of red rose and yellow marigold garlands with white jasmine strands, and wears a heavy gold necklace with bead pendants. A vertical tilak mark is visible on his forehead. Behind him stands a ceremonial parasol, while a figure in orange robes raises a pink-tasselled staff overhead and an attendant holds a silver vessel at the right edge. Gold bells and a golden wheel-like ornament hang in the background, along with a ceremonial umbrella with blue and maroon fringe. Rose petals are scattered on the yellow cloth beneath him. The man's crown, garlands and orange robe are consistent with the appearance-based Swamiji (probable) label.
