A seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a gold canopy against black drapery, wearing a red garment with gold embroidery and a red bindi, eyes closed and smiling. Two devotees kneel on a white cloth covered with red petals: one in white clothes with an orange sash bows and touches the seated figure's lap, and another in white with a white shawl kneels with hands folded. A red heart-shaped balloon on a stick is held nearby. The seated figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), identified by long swept-back hair, red garment and central role as the honoured figure on the throne.
