A seated man in an orange-red robe with a rudraksha mala and white tilak on his forehead reaches out to place his right hand on the forehead of a man in a white shirt, standing in front of him. A silver staff with a trident-like top and a golden lion-headed seat are visible beside them, in a temple-style hall with red and orange wooden latticework. The seated figure, shown with long swept-back hair and ornate clothing, is a probable Swamiji blessing a devotee during a pada-puja or darshan style encounter.

The seated figure wears saffron-orange robes, a long purple orchid garland, and a dark beaded necklace, and gestures with raised hands toward a kneeling man in white dhoti-style clothing with an orange shawl, who is also gesturing as they speak.

Behind them stand a golden lion-headed throne armrest, orange and blue drapes, and a garland of yellow and red flowers. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, a ceremonial gold necklace and a shawl, matching the cues for the page's named teacher, so the appearance is consistent with that identity in person.
