A seated man smiles broadly on an ornate gold throne decorated with a dense arch of marigolds, jasmine and mixed flower garlands in yellow, purple, red, white and green. He wears a magenta turban with a fan-pleated top, a shimmering lavender and silver embroidered sherwani with a gold necklace, and red silk dhoti-style trousers, and he is barefoot. He holds a white flower garland and a small silver-toned vessel. A white bird figure sits atop a white-wrapped staff at left, and a gold kalasha-style ornament stands at right. A distinctive ceremonial presentation with a turban, ornate robes and gold ornaments suggests Swamiji (probable), seated on a peetha.
