A seated man on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head armrests and a large gold-filigree back, wearing a rust-brown turban with a jewelled ornament, a rudraksha-style gold necklace, gold armbands and bangles, and a brown and rust draped garment. He sits cross-legged on red cushions, smiling with palms pressed together in a gesture of greeting. To the left, a bearded man in saffron-orange robes sits with hands folded, and a tall golden staff stands in front. A water bottle and a small brass stand are at the lower left. Visible appearance cues include long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold necklaces and a turban, consistent with Swamiji (probable) seated in a place of honour.

Purple drapery and a stage backdrop fill the background.
