A seated figure in orange saffron robes with long dark hair and a dark rudraksha mala raises one hand while sitting in a wooden chair on a red-orange mat. A woman in a white sari with gold border kneels with her forehead bowed to the floor before a brass tray holding green leaves and a steel tumbler, in what appears to be a padapuja-style veneration. Behind them another person in white and a figure in orange stand on the carpeted floor, and a table draped in white cloth with flowers and a small altar sits in the background. Water bottles and a brass bowl are set on the floor. Probable Swamiji is seated in the chair, identified by long swept-back hair, saffron robes and rudraksha mala as the presentation cues.
