A seated figure in an orange saffron robe sits on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions against a dark blue draped curtain. He has long swept-back dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead, and smiles while raising his right hand toward the forehead of a young man in a white kurta who stands before him with palms joined in respectful greeting. A white cloth rests on the left cushion, and a microphone stand is visible at right. The seated robed figure fits the probable Swamiji cues of long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a throne, while the standing devotee wears plain white ritual clothing.
