A seated man on an ornate golden throne with red velvet cushions raises his right hand in a blessing or teaching gesture while smiling. He wears a maroon-red robe, a gold pendant with a central ornament, rudraksha beads on his arms and wrist, and a heavy gold necklace; long leis of pink and white flower garlands and green leaf garlands with yellow beads drape his shoulders. A tilak mark is on his forehead. Yellow and red marigold and flower offerings lie at his feet on a brass tray, and a gold-framed pillar stands behind him. Only one person is clearly visible in the scene with the seated man, and another partial figure is at the left edge. Appearance-based cues: long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold necklace, rudraksha malas and maroon robes, matching the Swamiji (probable) candidate on a throne.
