A seated man on an ornate gold-and-velvet throne with tiger-stripe upholstery raises his right hand in blessing. He wears an orange shawl over bare shoulders, a yellow dhoti, a long white and pink flower garland, and layered beaded necklaces. Behind him a gold-framed panel shows two gold relief faces against a red arch. In the foreground a person in white, with palms pressed together in namaste, is partly visible at the right edge, and a white draped stage platform fills the lower left. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron-orange shawl, garland and beaded mala are compatible cues for the seated figure, who is presented as the main speaker on the throne.
