A seated man on an ornate gold throne with red cushions wears a long flowing hair, a multi-strand beaded necklace, and a cream and gold shawl, with white and yellow-red flower garlands draped over his shoulders and across the throne. A young boy in a white kurta with a red rudraksha-style mala bows deeply, touching his head to the seated man's lap while holding a small embroidered gift box. Behind them, a woman in a white sari with a red and gold border and a beaded necklace stands watching, while another woman in white stands at the left edge. The backdrop is decorated with purple, pink, red and orange balloons and floral arrangements. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, a beaded mala, a shawl and garlands on the throne.
