A seated man on a large gold throne with a rounded fan-like backrest sits centrally before a red floral backdrop with scattered red rose petals. He wears a rust-orange turban, an orange-red robe, a white flower garland with red beads, a rudraksha mala and a gold pendant, and holds a silver trident-topped staff. A gold ornate canopy hangs above him. Around him, seated devotees in white, cream and orange clothing, including a woman in a green blouse and women with glasses, sit closely together during what appears to be a gathering. The appearance of the seated man matches several cues: orange-saffron robe, turban, garland, rudraksha and gold ornaments, so he is described as Swamiji (probable) on the throne, receiving devotees.
