A smiling man seated on an ornate golden throne waves his right hand while his left hand rests open at his waist. He wears a maroon-red turban with a gold brooch, a red-orange shawl draped over his shoulder and body, layered gold necklaces, gold bangles and armlets, and a red bindi with white ash on his forehead. Deep red velvet drapes stand behind him, and a gold ritual vessel sits at the lower right. Swamiji (probable) appears in person, with the distinctive saffron-orange clothing, turban and gold ornaments, seated in an honoured position.
