A standing figure in a rust-red embroidered silk garment with gold paisley patterns and a gold ornate crown with a peacock-like finial, wearing a long ornate gold-and-green-pendant necklace and garlands, smiles while holding a yellow cloth. Behind him is an ornate gold throne with a gold canopy. A kneeling devotee in a white dhoti and red shawl holds a small white card and reaches toward him. Behind them a crowd of women in orange and red saris and a few men in white stand watching, some with palms pressed together, and a backdrop has purple floral panels. Swamiji (probable): the standing figure in the rust-red robe and gold crown is the central honoured figure seated near the throne, with the kneeling devotee presenting a card.

A woman in a red sari with a bindi and a man in white with a mala are prominent among them, with a few marigold garlands visible.
