A seated man in an orange saffron wrap and a long ornate gold necklace of large beads sits on a golden throne cushioned in yellow, backed by a dense arch of marigolds, red and white flowers and green leaves. He has long dark hair, a red bindi on his forehead, gold armlets and holds a gold ceremonial staff with a pointed end, eyes lowered and smiling. A basket of fruit sits at the left edge and gilded urns flank the throne. Dark-haired heads of seated devotees appear in the lower foreground. The appearance matches Swamiji (probable) by the saffron clothing, long hair and gold necklace, shown as a seated honoured figure on a flower-decorated throne at a Jayanthi celebration.
