A smiling man with long dark hair and a full beard sits on an ornate gold throne with curved carved backrests and red cushions, wearing a maroon-red robe, a brown rudraksha mala, a gold ceremonial necklace with a pendant, and a bright pink garland. Garlands of white, purple, yellow and orange flowers hang behind the throne. To the right stands a deity murti draped in a yellow-orange flower garland, and in the foreground are seated and standing audience members. The man appears to be Swamiji (probable), seated in a place of honour during a festival procession; the figure's robe, long hair, beard, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace are the qualifying cues. A stadium-style crowd fills the background.
