A smiling man in a red and gold brocade ceremonial garment sits on a gold lion-armed throne backed by a large arch of marigold, rose and jasmine garlands in yellow, red, purple and green. He wears an ornate gold crown, layered gold necklaces and a gold-trimmed shawl, and holds a silver staff topped with a bird figure in one hand and a white fly-whisk-style cloth in the other. Several rings adorn his fingers. Grey draped backdrop behind. The seated figure matches the Swamiji (probable) cues of ornate gold crown, saffron-red regal clothing and gold necklaces, and is presented as a seated figure on a throne of honour.
