A seated man sits cross-legged with eyes closed in meditation on a colourful striped mat in front of deep red drapes. He wears a large gold crown, gold armbands and bangles, a gold necklace, and a rust-brown ochre garment. Long garlands of pink, white, yellow and red flowers hang from a frame on either side of him, and a decorated pillar with green vine wrapping stands at left. The setting suggests a ceremonial seat under a canopy. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears a crown, ornate gold jewellery, rudraksha-style gold adornments and ochre clothing, and sits on a throne-like seat as the central figure of the ceremony.
