A seated man in a dark red-brown robe sits on an ornate gold throne with a tiger-striped cloth draped over its base. He wears a long rudraksha mala, a gold necklace with a pendant, and a multi-coloured flower garland with red, white and yellow blossoms. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands behind the throne, pressing a golden kalasha or pot to the seated man's forehead in a blessing gesture. To the left, a bald man with white tilak marks and rudraksha beads, wearing a red-brown garment, smiles beside a standing man in white with an orange waist cloth. A painted deity figure with a crown appears in the background behind the throne, and gold ornamentation fills the right edge. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace, and sits on the throne being honoured, so he is shown in person.
