A seated man in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back dark hair, rudraksha malas and a pearl-and-gold necklace offers a handful of prasad or sweets from a small packet to a young boy in a white t-shirt with an orange lanyard. The boy stands with palms pressed together in namaste. Behind them a man in orange clothing kneels, and rows of seated devotees in white clothes with red-orange shawls fill the background. The scene is at night under bright lights, on a patterned carpet with a green mat. Swamiji (probable): the seated man with long swept-back hair, orange robes and rudraksha malas, shown in the act of giving prasad.
