A man with a long beard and a tilak on his forehead sits on an ornate gold throne carved with lions and a central medallion, upholstered in leopard-print cushions. He wears saffron-orange robes, a rudraksha mala and a long white garland, and raises his right hand while holding a silver trident in his left, seemingly addressing the crowd. Behind him, a large floral arch of white, orange and green flowers frames the scene. In the foreground, a bare-chested man in a white dhoti-style cloth and other devotees stand before the throne, and a woman in gold-trimmed white attire and a blonde-haired woman look on at the right. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne holding the trident, and the visible cues are his saffron robes, rudraksha mala and long hair; the person's identity is inferred from appearance only.
