A barefoot man in saffron-orange robes and a leopard-print shawl stands on a gilded platform before an ornate golden throne with red cushions, a rudraksha mala draped at his chest. He wears a red tilak on his forehead and his long dark hair is swept back. Behind him stands a shrine with a deity murti of a couple, adorned with garlands, flanked by brass lamps, under an arch and a stone-pillared pavilion. A man in white dhoti and shawl with a red border, wearing a garland, holds a silver tray of offerings at the left edge. Red and striped mats cover the floor. The man in orange appears to be Swamiji (probable), given the long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala, and saffron clothing, and he is standing in person.
