A man with long swept-back dark hair, a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, wearing a rust-orange draped garment, sits on an ornate gold throne with a tiger-striped cloth on the seat, in a painted blue-and-pink temple hall. He is the probable Swamiji, identified by the long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace and saffron-orange clothing, seated as the central figure. In the foreground a blurred shaved-headed man in orange holds an object, and a woman in a red blouse and dark sari sits before the throne beside a woman in white with ash markings. Brass oil lamps hang from the ceiling, and a multi-tier brass lamp burns at right.
