A seated man with long dark hair, white sacred ash and a red bindi on his forehead, wears a white dhoti-style cloth over his shoulder, gold armlet and multiple gold bead necklaces. He sits on an ornate gilded throne with red upholstery and reaches to touch the palms of a bald older man in a grey t-shirt who sits before him with hands pressed together in reverence. Behind them are a garland of pink, yellow and orange flowers and a brass oil lamp with a visible flame. The seated man has distinctive long hair, gold ornaments and white clothing consistent with the probable Swamiji presentation, while the devotee is a person in grey clothing receiving blessing.
