A seated man in an orange-saffron robe with a gold border sits on a throne-like chair heavily decorated with yellow, red, purple and white marigold and chrysanthemum garlands and green leaves. He wears a long gold ceremonial necklace of beaded pendants, gold bangles, and a red bindi, and holds a gold trident (trishul) in one hand while raising the other palm in greeting. His long dark hair falls past his shoulders and he smiles broadly. A woven basket of fruit and gold-coloured objects sits at the lower left edge, with the silhouettes of audience members in the foreground. Swamiji (probable): the appearance cues are long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, a gold ceremonial necklace and a trident, seated in a flower-decorated throne during a public event.
