A seated figure in an orange saffron robe with a long rudraksha mala and long, swept-back dark hair sits on an orange-upholstered throne-like chair, smiling and gesturing with one hand. A kneeling man in a plaid collared shirt and khaki trousers bows forward, touching his forehead to the seated figure's bare feet, which rest on an orange footstool. Behind them, a tray of fruit and flowers sits on an orange-draped table, with brass lamps and vessels on a ledge. A standing man in white kurta and dhoti with an orange shawl stands at left. The setting resembles a temple or ashram hall with orange cloth covering the floor. The seated figure shows distinctive long hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala, a probable match to a person, but the appearance is only partially clear, so the identity is uncertain.
