A man seated on an ornate gold throne with a large gilded back carved with foliate scrollwork, wearing a rust-brown dhoti-style garment, a rust-red turban with a jewelled brooch, a heavy gold necklace and gold armbands, smiling as he sits between two bearded men in saffron-orange robes wearing headphones. A gold trident stands at left and a brass-and-glass water bottle sits on a small wooden table. Garlands hang on the right edge and a blue-lit stage backdrop sits behind. Swamiji (probable) is the central seated figure, shown on the throne with a turban, gold jewellery and rust-brown clothing; the two saffron-clad men are attendants seated on the stage beside him.
