A seated figure on an ornate gold-and-red throne wears a saffron-orange robe and a white-and-magenta flower garland, with long dark hair swept back, and holds a sheet of paper while looking down at it. A man in a white shirt, white dhoti, and dark rudraksha mala stands bending forward, extending a small offering to the seated figure. A woman in a navy and brown patterned shawl stands at the left with a flower in her hair. A wooden box with fruit sits near the throne. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a flower garland on a ceremonial throne, so the candidate is in person. The white-clad man is a devotee.
