A seated man in a rust-brown ochre robe sits on a red cushioned throne backed by a large flower-decorated arch of red, white, yellow, green and purple blossoms. He wears a multi-coloured flower garland and a rudraksha-style necklace, with a red thread on his wrist, and holds a yellow fruit in one hand. Golden lion heads flank the throne, and a trident leans at left. A man in white clothes and a white-haired elder in white are at left, while a smiling young woman in a white sari with gold border and a woman in a brown-ochre garment with tilak stand at right, seated on the floor, attending the ceremony. Probable Swamiji appears on the throne, with long swept-back hair, ochre robe and a rudraksha-type mala, and he appears to be receiving honour in an avatar-day celebration setting.
