A smiling man with eyes closed sits cross-legged and barefoot on a golden swan-shaped throne (hamsa vahanam style) framed by a large arch of marigold, white jasmine and red rose garlands. He wears a peach embroidered kurta with a saffron-orange dhoti-style wrap bordered in gold, a cream turban and a gold chain, with palms raised in blessing. Background is a painted backdrop of trees and lotus flowers. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears a turban and orange-gold ceremonial garments with a gold necklace on a golden throne, so the appearance-based cues are moderate; he is physically present.
