A seated man in saffron-orange robes and bare chest, wearing long gold-bead necklaces and ornate gold armlets, sits on a red tiger-striped throne with gold carved armrests and extends his hand while speaking to a visitor. The visitor, an older man with white hair and glasses, wears a pale teal kurta with an orange shawl and sits attentively with hands together. Beside them a bald man in saffron robes with a rudraksha mala sits on the floor, and a younger man in a grey shirt stands behind holding a booklet. A golden lion figure and a black serpent-entwined staff stand beside the throne, in front of a rock-textured backdrop. The seated man in saffron is Swamiji (probable), based on his long swept-back hair, saffron robes and ornate gold necklaces.
