The seated man wears a golden turban, a red and gold robe, and a long multi-strand beaded necklace with a red garland. Around the throne, a dense crowd sits on the floor in white and cream clothing, with several people in saffron and red shawls, many with long hair in plaits and braids, and some with bald heads. A glowing amber bokeh backdrop fills the background. A probable Swamiji is seated in the centre on the throne, identified by the turban, ornate clothing and ceremonial beads.
