A seated man in saffron-orange robes, with long dark wavy hair swept back, wears a heavy gold bead necklace and sits on an orange-draped golden throne. He smiles while a devotee in white kurta, with a white-and-red flower garland, bows and holds his foot or hand in reverence. Behind them an older man in white and another man in white garlanded clothing stand near gilded decorations and a red-and-gold backdrop. In the lower corner a pink-turbaned figure appears on a shelf. Yellow marigold garlands lie at the feet. This appears to be a padapuja or devotional darshan moment. The seated figure matches Swamiji's appearance with long hair, saffron robes and gold necklace, so he is labelled probable.
