A central figure with long dark wavy hair sits on an ornate gilded throne with a red velvet back, wearing an orange robe, a gold chain and a multicoloured flower garland of red, yellow and white blossoms, with a red bindi on the forehead. Swamiji (probable) is seated centrally, with long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a garland, and his hand rests on a golden lion-headed armrest. Behind the throne is a wall decorated with a dense arrangement of red, yellow and white marigold garlands. Beside him at left, a man in orange robes with a white tilak mark sits, and a bearded man in orange robes sits further back. A partially visible face appears at lower right.
