A seated man in orange robes with long swept-back dark hair sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, holding a red fruit, while a man in a white kurta with an orange shawl and a red tilak bends forward and offers fruit. Two men in white kurtas prostrate on a patterned red carpet at the throne's foot, touching their hands to the floor. Other standing devotees in white and a monk in orange stand behind, with trays of fruit and sweets on a side table and a blue curtain in the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's long swept-back hair and saffron robes match the page's identification, while the throne and reverent pada-namaskar setting suggest a darshan.
