A man seated on a red and gold throne with lion-head armrests, in front of a tall backdrop of concentric garland bands in red, yellow, green, white and purple flowers. He wears a rust-orange turban with a jewelled ornament, a thick beard, a heavy gold necklace, a pink and white garland, and gold armlets, and he sits with eyes closed and a smile. A gold trident stands at his left, and a person in white near the left edge gestures. Audience members in the foreground are seen from behind. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's rust turban, ornate gold necklaces and rudraksha-style adornment suggest the subject, seated on a throne during a celebration.
