A homa fire burns on a brick fire pit in an indoor hall with reddish-brown walls. A seated man in a brown-orange robe, with long dark hair swept up, a tilak on his forehead, a gold necklace, a pale garland and a rudraksha mala, sits on an ornate gold throne beneath a gold canopy umbrella. A priest with a shaved head and bare upper body, wearing a saffron-yellow shawl and a rudraksha mala, sits before the fire with a red-orange turban. Men in white dhotis with gold borders stand at left, and devotees sit at right beside flower garlands and kalasha-like offerings. Appearance suggests Swamiji (probable) on the throne, a sannyasi in a brown-orange robe with long hair and a gold necklace.
