A seated man with long dark hair and a tilak on his forehead sits on an ornate gold throne with a tiger-striped cushion, framed by a large floral backdrop of red, yellow, purple and white garlands. He wears an orange-brown dhoti-style garment, a leopard-print top, a coral rudraksha mala and a pink-white flower garland, and his hands are raised in a gesture. Two women in saffron and cream saris sit at the base of the throne, one offering a tray. Lit oil lamps in the foreground and hanging brass lamps surround a shrine-like decorated stage with a golden deity murti on the right. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron-orange ornate clothing, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace, seated on the throne.
