A seated man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead sits eyes-closed on an ornate gold throne draped in red zebra-patterned upholstery. He wears a peach-coloured silk kurta embroidered with gold sunburst motifs, an orange shawl over one shoulder, and a gold chain around his neck, with his hands clasped in his lap. Behind him hang garlands of yellow, red, purple and white flowers, and beside him sits a gilded lion-shaped armrest. The background is a green painted backdrop with a large yellow leaf motif. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, ornate saffron-toned clothing and gold necklace on the throne match the candidate, indicating a presiding figure at a celebration.
