A smiling man seated on a gold-upholstered throne, raising one hand in a greeting or blessing, with the other hand resting on the armrest. He wears a gold crown with a purple turban-like wrap, a brown-and-gold garment, a brown rudraksha mala, multiple ceremonial gold necklaces, gold bangles and an armband, and a thick pink-red flower garland. Behind him is a backdrop of tightly strung marigolds and roses in yellow, orange, red, white, green and purple, with a golden staff topped by a bird finial at left. A ceremonial throne setting with floral decoration suggests a festive or honouring occasion. Swamiji (probable): the figure has a crown and turban, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklaces on a throne, a qualifying set of cues, and the page flags his presence.
