A seated figure in a saffron-orange shawl and orange garment sits on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions, hands folded in the lap, eyes lowered, barefoot on a white cloth-covered stage. Behind the throne hangs deep blue draped curtain. Two tall brass oil lamps with lit flames stand on either side. Around the stage, a man in white clothes with a red waist sash bends backward in a dramatic stretch with arms reaching, while another white-clad man kneels with forehead to the floor.

Four younger attendees sit on the stage floor facing the throne: one at left with palms pressed together in namaskar, others seated in white clothing with orange shawls. A brass hanging lamp with crystal drops and a small brass lamp stand are visible at the left. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated figure on the throne, based on the saffron robe, long swept-back hair and throne seating.
