A man with long swept-back dark hair and a full beard sits on an ornate gilded throne with a red cushioned seat and a carved golden backrest decorated with floral scrollwork. He wears a rust-maroon garment draped over one shoulder, a long gold beaded necklace, a gold ornamental pendant, and a thick rudraksha mala. A pink and red rose garland hangs across his chest, and a small red bindi mark is on his forehead. Behind the throne are hanging strands of marigolds and white flowers. On the left is a gold kalasha-style finial. A few heads of seated audience members are visible at the bottom edge. The scene appears to be a festival stage with night lighting. Swamiji (probable): the appearance cues of long hair, rudraksha mala, saffron-maroon clothing and gold ornaments are present, though the face and presentation are not fully clear.
