A stage event in front of a large painted backdrop of a snow-capped mountain under a sunset sky. On the right, a long-haired man in orange robes with a leopard-print shawl stands by a gold-upholstered throne, extending his right hand in blessing toward a man bending forward in a maroon kurta with a yellow sash and white dhoti, who holds a white plate. Behind them, a man in an orange robe and shawl holds a paper or framed item. Marigold flowers lie on the stage floor and a water bottle sits on a white table. The right figure shows distinctive visible cues of long swept-back hair, orange robes and a leopard shawl, consistent with a probable Swamiji (probable) depiction of the presiding guru, though the appearance is not conclusive.
