A man seated on an ornate silver throne with a red cushioned back, holding a tall silver staff topped with a decorative finial in his raised right hand. He wears a rust-brown draped cloth, a red-and-orange flower garland with white blossoms, a gold pendant, and beaded red bracelets on both arms, with a red mark on his forehead. Behind and around him, seated devotees and audience members watch in a bright hall. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, a garland, ornate gold jewellery and a staff-bearing pose consistent with ceremonial presentation, so he is recorded as the probable Swamiji. Other attendees in the background include a man in glasses and several people in light clothing.
