A seated man in orange-red robes and gold-trimmed cloth sits on an ornate gold throne carved with scrolling foliage and flanked by two golden lion heads. He wears a rudraksha mala and gold armlets, with a tilak and red bindi on his forehead, and holds a clear glass kalasha with a silver stand while gazing down at it. A red and gold brocade cloth covers the table in front, with a silver dish of yellow flowers and a covered silver bowl. Cream draped curtains form the background. Swamiji (probable): long hair swept back with rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold ornaments, seated on throne as officiant of the ritual.
