A seated man with long, swept-back dark hair sits on an ornate gilded throne decorated with garlands of yellow, red, purple and white flowers and a carved gold lion at its arm. He wears a peach-orange silk kurta with gold embroidery over an orange dhoti-style garment with a gold border, and wears a red bindi, a gold necklace and a red-and-gold beaded collar. He smiles and claps his hands together. A dark rounded backdrop with a white swan-like motif hangs behind the throne. Swamiji (probable) is identified by long swept-back hair, saffron-orange ornate clothing and gold ceremonial necklaces, seated in the honoured position of a throne, while the page indicates his presence at the event.
