A seated man in an orange saffron robe with a gold-striped border and a long gold bead necklace sits on an ornate gold throne against a painted forest backdrop, with a red tilak on his forehead and long swept-back dark hair. Two people in white clothing kneel before him, one with a long black braid, and he rests his right hand on the head of the kneeling person while the other kneeling figure's head is touched by his other hand. Swamiji (probable): the orange robe, gold necklace, long hair and gold throne are the qualifying cues for the seated central figure. The scene appears to be an intimate blessing or initiation moment during a satsang.
