A seated figure in white ceremonial cloth with long dark hair and a tilak on the forehead sits with palms pressed together in namaste on an ornate gold throne with red cushioning and a garland of white, yellow and purple flowers. Before the throne, a young man in orange robes holds a brass lamp, and a woman in an orange sari with a maroon border sits with folded hands. Brass oil lamps, a silver kalasha-style vessel with flowers and fruit, and a blue draped backdrop complete the scene. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold necklace and white garments on a throne.
