A seated man in a white turban and cream-and-gold dhoti-style cloth sits before a gilded throne-like chair decorated with yellow marigolds, red roses and green leaves, under a red and gold canopy with tassels. He wears layered gold necklaces and a red bindi and smiles broadly. A woman on the left in an orange sari with gold jewellery stands with hands folded in prayer, and a man in a white shirt on the right extends his arm toward the seated figure in blessing or greeting. A bald man with glasses stands behind. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long dark hair, a white turban, gold necklaces and white ceremonial dress, placing him at the centre of the honouring ceremony.
