A smiling man with long dark hair and a red bindi sits on an ornate gold throne with a deep red velvet back and lion-head armrests. He wears a flowing saffron-orange robe draped over one shoulder and a long white flower garland around his neck. Red and white rose petals are scattered on the red cushion and the floor, and the bare feet rest on the cushion. Behind the throne hangs a pink fabric backdrop, and at left a wooden tray holds fruit and offerings. The appearance of the seated man with long hair, saffron robe and ceremonial throne is consistent with Swamiji (probable), seated in a throne-and-garland honouring setting.
