A seated man in a rust-red dhoti and matching shawl, wearing a long garland of yellow and red flowers, gold armlets and bangles, and a leopard-print cushion behind him, extends his hands in blessing toward an elderly man in a white shirt and trousers who bows low and touches his feet. Behind them, a woman in a rust sari with a rudraksha mala stands beside a golden deity murti, and a few women and a young girl in a blue top watch from the back. Red velvet seats and a red carpet surround the scene. The seated man is a probable Swamiji candidate with long swept-back hair, a gold crown-like ornament and ceremonial gold jewellery, so the image depicts him in person.
