A seated man in a maroon-brown robe sits on an ornate golden throne upholstered in red, with a tiger-striped cushion behind him. He wears a red-and-white beaded garland, layered gold necklaces with a central gold pendant, and bangles, with a red bindi on his forehead. Long dark hair is piled on his head. Tall garlands of yellow marigolds and red roses frame the throne on both sides, and a golden staff-like ceremonial rod stands at left beside a carved gold panel. Swamiji (probable), seated on the throne as the central figure, with long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces and a garland.
