A seated man in saffron-orange sleeveless robes with a gold-bordered dhoti sits cross-legged on a cream cushioned throne, hands folded in his lap, smiling. He wears a red bindi, long dark hair and heavy gold multi-strand rudraksha-style malas. Behind him is an ornate gilded throne backdrop framed by a large arch of purple, yellow and white marigold garlands with red roses and green foliage. Some text along the bottom edge is partly visible but not legible. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ceremonial gold necklaces are the visible cues for the seated figure, who is being honoured on a decorated throne.
