A seated man in a maroon-brown robe with long swept-back hair, a white vertical tilak and red dot on his forehead, and a gold necklace and rudraksha mala, sits with eyes closed on an ornate silver throne encrusted with jewel-coloured stones. He holds a brass tray of pink and yellow flowers and garlands, while another man in a maroon cloth stands at right, partly visible. A tiger-striped cushion rests below the throne, and a silver ganesha-style figure with gemstones sits at lower left. This is a ritual scene with flower offerings, and the seated man is a probable Swamiji by his long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklaces, shown in a ritual setting.
