A seated figure in an orange-saffron robe with a long gold ceremonial necklace sits on a red-cushioned golden throne, raising one hand to touch the forehead of a young man in white shirt and trousers who stands with palms pressed together in namaskar. Several people in white ritual clothing stand in a line behind him on an orange cloth, including women in white and cream saris and men in white kurtas with lanyards. A woman in a cream sari holds a tray or plate. The floor is covered with an orange cloth and a few scattered petals, and dark drapes frame the stage. The seated figure has long swept-back hair and visible rudraksha-style adornments, consistent with the description of a probable Swamiji.
