A seated man in a maroon turban and maroon-red robes sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head armrests, wearing a multicoloured flower garland, gold necklaces and bangles. He is surrounded by devotees in saffron and orange robes, some with rudraksha malas and white tilak marks. Beside him a woman in a deep red sari smiles, and women in red and saffron clothing and a man in white sit nearby, with a few people in the foreground. The Swamiji (probable) cues here are the maroon turban, gold necklaces and garland, seated on the throne, which may suggest a ceremonial honouring; the figure is in a central throne position with attendants.
