A seated figure in a red-orange turban and rust-red robe with rudraksha malas and a leopard-print lower wrap sits on an ornate gold throne, smiling and resting his hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt with a red-beaded mala. A woman in a white embroidered outfit with a rust-red shawl and beaded necklaces stands behind, and a gold-handled staff and stacked books sit on a table beside the throne against a maroon curtain. The probable Swamiji cues are the turban, rudraksha malas and saffron-red robe; he is a seated figure giving a blessing to a devotee in a pada puja style scene.
