A person seated cross-legged on an ornate gold throne (peetha) with red cushioned armrests, framed by a large arch of marigold and white garlands in yellow, orange, red and purple. The seated figure wears a cream turban, a cream and gold embroidered long jacket over a red dhoti-style lower garment, and a gold necklace, with palms pressed together in anjali mudra. Gold-carved pedestals flank the throne, white flower garlands drape its base, and a golden ceremonial staff with a finial stands at left beside a small water bottle. The backdrop is a glowing red-orange stage wall. The figure has long dark hair and appears to be Swamiji (probable), identified by the seated, honoured stage setting and the distinctive turban, ornate robes and gold ornaments.
