A smiling man seated on a deep red velvet throne raises his right hand in greeting. He wears a gold crown with a peacock feather, a saffron-coloured dhoti, and a heavy garland of red roses, white jasmine and yellow flowers, with a rudraksha mala and gold ceremonial necklace. His feet rest on a brass plate on a red cushion, surrounded by orange and white flower decorations, a carved golden lion and a wooden lion head. Scattered petals cover the floor. The setting resembles a festival or coronation-style celebration. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has distinctive crown, saffron clothing, rudraksha and gold necklace cues, shown in a ceremonial throne setting.
