A smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair sits with palms pressed together in front of him on an ornate golden throne decorated with garlands of yellow, orange and purple flowers and white jasmine. He wears a peach-coloured embroidered silk kurta with gold details, a gold chain and a orange shawl draped over his lap. Golden lion-head armrests flank him, and a green cloth backdrop with a stylised yellow motif fills the background. Swamiji (probable) is seated as the honoured guest on the throne, identified by his long hair, saffron-toned clothing and ceremonial gold necklace, with his eyes closed in a moment of devotion during the celebrations.
