A seated man in red saffron robes sits on an ornate gold throne with red upholstery, wearing multiple strands of rudraksha beads and heavy gold necklaces and a white paste mark on his forehead and arms. He dips his hand into a silver plate piled with white powder held by another person in red at the lower left. Behind him stand two men: one in a white kurta with a yellow lanyard and another in an orange garment. Swamiji (probable) appearance cues include the swept-back long hair, saffron robes, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklaces. The seated man is the central figure, receiving or handling the white powder during a ritual.
