A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a pink and white flower garland sits on a red throne decorated with a large arched backdrop of rows of colourful flowers in red, yellow, green, purple and white. He extends his hands toward a crowd of devotees. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure wears saffron robes, a flower garland and a gold-ornamented setting, with long hair and beard visible. Around him, devotees in white and cream dhotis and shawls, one with a yellow-bordered shawl and rudraksha beads, lean in closer. A gold lion figure and a trident-shaped ornament appear at the top of the throne. The scene suggests a darshan in a flower-decorated hall.
