A seated man on a gilded throne with a red cushion, wearing an ornate gold crown and a pink silk garment with green border, draped in white and red-and-white jasmine garlands and a gold chain with rudraksha-style beads. He smiles and looks to the side. A person in the foreground, partly visible, extends a lit oil lamp or aarti flame toward him. Behind the throne are painted decorated pillars in blue, red, green and orange with floral motifs, banana leaves, marigold and flower garlands and a white canopy. The setting resembles a ceremonial procession or outdoor darshan, with one physical person clearly visible plus a partially visible hand. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure, identified by the crown, pink and gold ceremonial clothing and rudraksha beads, with the throne and aarti indicating a being-honoured role.
