In the foreground, a man in an orange sleeveless top with a leopard-print shawl sits behind a low table laden with apples, wrapped sweets, a water bottle and banknotes; he extends his hand in blessing. Before him, a woman in white kneels with her head bowed toward his hand, and an older man in white with a rudraksha mala kneels beside her with palms pressed together. Behind them, devotees in white and yellow stand smiling with hands folded. The orange-clad figure with a long swept-back hair and leopard shawl is a probable Swamiji, identified by saffron robes and distinctive dress cues, seated as a teacher giving blessing.
