He smiles and holds out an apple toward a man in a white shirt with a rudraksha-style mala and a bead necklace. Beside him, a woman in a white sari with a red shawl presses her palms together in greeting. A young person in white stands at the left, and another head is visible at the bottom right near a tray of apples. White lilies and green palm fronds decorate the bamboo-screened backdrop.

A man in an orange-red turban, orange-red robe and layered rudraksha malas sits on the throne, smiling and holding a piece of food with both hands while women seated in front of him receive offerings. Two men stand behind him: one bald in white with a tilak and orange shawl, another with long swept-back hair, white dhoti with gold border, bare upper body and rudraksha malas.

A seated figure in a deep red-orange robe and matching turban, with long beaded necklaces and rudraksha malas, sits on a gold-and-yellow throne in an ornate temple-style hall. Behind him hangs a large garland of yellow, orange and green flowers, and a gilded lamp stand is visible at left. An elderly woman in a cream sari, wearing gold bangles and glasses, kneels and offers a white cloth to the seated figure's extended hand. Beside her, a bald man in white with a yellow shawl and a rudraksha mala stands with hands folded, and a younger woman sits at the right near gold ritual vessels. A man in white stands at far left near an air conditioner, and a further person is partly visible behind the throne. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with Swamiji (probable), with the red turban, long beaded necklaces and rudraksha malas as cues, receiving a devotee in a blessing-type exchange.
