A seated figure in an orange saffron garment with a long rudraksha mala and a gold-edged orange shawl sits on an ornate gold throne, placing one hand on the head of a man with a shaved-crown hairline in a cream kurta seen from behind. A woman in a yellow and green floral salwar kameez, her long dark hair loose, rests her hand on the seated figure's forearm. Behind them a red banner reads Life Bliss. The seated figure has swept-back long hair, a mark on the forehead and a bare-chested orange wrap, which are appearance-based cues for the probable Swamiji, so the figure is labelled Swamiji (probable) receiving devotees in a darshan setting.
