He wears a gold crown with a peacock feather, a thick red rose garland over the shoulders, and a white garment with gold borders. Multiple gold chains and a large pendant hang on his chest, and a red tilak is on his forehead. He smiles and raises his right hand in a wave while the other rests on a red tiger-striped cushion. Long swept-back hair and the regal crown and ornate gold clothing are appearance-based cues for Swamiji (probable), shown here seated in person during a celebration. The scene reads as a festive procession or darshan on a decorated throne. Only one person is physically present.
