A seated man with long dark hair, a full beard and a vertical tilak on his forehead wears an orange-brown shawl over a saffron garment and a long garland of pink lotus flowers with white beads. He holds a brass vessel and a bundle of green grass stalks, receiving a ritual offering from a second person whose arm is marked with white painted stripes and who wears a yellow and blue patterned cloth. Behind them is an ornate gold carved throne back and a leopard-print cushion. Swamiji (probable): the man's long hair, saffron-orange clothing and lotus garland with the seated throne setting are the qualifying cues.
