A seated bearded man in a rust-orange turban and matching orange-red robes sits on an ornate gilded throne with lion armrests, leopard-print cushions and a golden cobra hood canopy behind him. He wears a long white flower garland, heavy gold necklaces and bangles, and extends his arms in a welcoming gesture. A tall silver trident stands to his left, with more gold trident-topped finials at the edges of the stage. Behind him a large screen shows an arched palace hall with pink columns and a checkered floor. A red cloth-covered table sits at the lower left. The scene suggests a stage discourse. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identified by the turban, saffron-orange robes, rudraksha-style garland and gold ornaments.
