A devotee in a blue collared shirt and dark trousers kneels before a seated figure in a saffron-orange robe with a white jasmine garland, performing padapuja by touching the feet. The seated figure has long dark hair and sits on a gold-and-red ornate throne with a red cushion. A woman in an orange salwar kameez stands at left with hands folded, a man in a white shirt beside her joins palms in namaste, and a woman in a white sari with yellow border stands behind. Brass plates with flowers and offerings lie on the floor in front. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's long hair, saffron robe, garland and throne match the presentation cues, though this is an appearance-based label. Pillars with lotus capitals and a white draped backdrop frame the room.
