A seated man with long dark hair, wearing a white sleeveless garment, a red tilak on his forehead, a gold beaded necklace and a gold serpent-shaped armlet, sits on an ornate gold-carved throne with a red cushion. A standing man in a light blue shirt holds a lit oil lamp near the seated man's head and raises his palm above it in a blessing gesture. Behind them, a teal drape is decorated with red and white flower garlands, and a gold kalasha-style finial stands on the right beside the lamp. Probable Swamiji cues include long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold necklace and white ritual garment while receiving a blessing on a throne; the standing man is a priest or devotee. Two people are visible.
