A man in a rust-orange turban with a silver crescent ornament sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne, smiling and raising one hand toward a white-clad man at the left edge. He wears layered rudraksha malas, pink and white flower garlands, heavy gold necklaces, orange bangles and an orange robe. Behind him, a large gilded deity murti with multiple arms and a red-draped canopy frame the scene. Probable Swamiji's appearance cues here are the turban, orange garments, malas and ceremonial gold necklaces, seated in a place of honour. The white-clad man at left wears a white dhoti with gold border and rudraksha beads. Small candle lights glow in the background.
