A smiling man in an orange turban and orange robes sits on a golden throne decorated with a garland of marigolds, roses and yellow flowers, with a large golden emblem behind him. He wears a long gold and wooden bead necklace and a red tilak on his forehead, and he extends his right arm toward a devotee. To the left, a shaved-headed priest in orange robes and a beaded mala sits smiling. At the lower edge, dark-haired devotees and a hand holding a purple garland are partly visible, and a white canopy covers the scene. The man on the throne shows the long swept-back hair, orange turban, orange robes and ceremonial beads that match the probable Swamiji cues.
