A seated man on an ornate gold-and-red throne, wearing a saffron-orange robe, rudraksha mala necklaces of beads, and a bare upper body, with white sacred markings on his forehead, smiling as he extends his hand. Before him, a young attendant kneels in white dhoti and shoulder cloth with a white head covering and rudraksha beads, offering or receiving his hand near a brass pot of flowers. Between them stands a silver tray with a white object and a small pot of flowers; red and white roses fill brass vases on both sides. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, saffron robe, and rudraksha malas on a throne. The setting is a temple-like hall with red drapes and a red carpet, and a fan is visible at right. Possible padapuja or darshan ritual.
