A seated man in a flower-decorated pavilion sits on a leopard-print cushioned seat before a gold-framed red and gold throne, with garlands framing the entrance. He wears a gold crown, a white flower garland, gold armbands and a gold necklace over a bare chest, and sits on a tiger-skin mat. Beside him a woman in a white sari kneels and tends to offerings, while a man in white stands at the right edge. Walls are covered in strings of yellow, white and red flowers, with white floral arrangements and palm fronds at the base, all lit in purple and pink light. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's crown, bare chest, gold armbands and bead necklace match the page's appearance cues, placed here as a seated presence in the pavilion.
