A man sits on an ornate cream and gold upholstered throne-style chair against a deep red velvet curtain, raising his right hand in a blessing gesture. He wears a violet-blue garment with a red and gold border, a red-and-gold shawl draped over one shoulder, a multi-strand garland of orange and gold beads, and a small red bindi on his forehead. A yellow and pink flower arrangement sits on a side table beside a water bottle, and a peacock-feather design appears in the lower foreground. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair and ornate ceremonial garland and shawl cues, presented in a throne setting during a discourse.
