A figure with long swept-back dark hair, wearing an orange saffron garment and a rudraksha mala, seated on the throne, places one hand on the head of a young boy in a striped polo shirt and white shorts with a face mask, who stands bowing before him. Beside the throne, a shaved-headed man in orange and a priest in white with a gold necklace stand near an offering table. To the left, two men in shirts and trousers stand with hands joined in reverence. A microphone stand is visible at the right edge. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure shows long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads, and is seated on a throne.
