A smiling man with long dark hair, a tilak on his forehead, an orange-red saffron cloth and a gold chain sits on an ornate silver throne with lion-head armrests and leopard-print cushions. A bare-chested devotee in a white dhoti with a gold border kneels in front of him, while two people in white attire stand at the sides, one holding a silver staff. Behind the throne is a large backdrop of a silver-white temple tower with a starry sky, and a red decorative panel is visible at the lower left. The setting suggests a stage during a Navaratri celebration. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a gold necklace, and is seated on a throne.
