A seated figure sits cross-legged on a red and gold floral cushion before an ornate gold throne with carved arch and lion motifs. He has long dark hair, a red bindi and a smiling, eyes-closed expression. He wears an orange dhoti with yellow border and a tiger-striped shawl, with rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklaces, and he holds a stick or incense-like object in his right hand. Bare-chested with ornate bangles, he sits near a peacock feather fan, brass oil lamps, fruit and a red-draped table. Cropped figures of a deity murti stand at the frame edges and a partially visible person sits at the lower left. Swamiji (probable) is seated centrally, appearance-based cues being long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and gold necklaces.
