A seated bearded man on an ornate gold throne with lion-head armrests raises a silver staff in one hand and waves with the other. He wears a rust-red turban, a pink flower garland, layered gold necklaces and gold armlets over a red-and-gold cloth. A trident leans at the left and a golden tray of flowers and fruit sits in front of the throne. At the right, a man in white clothes stands with palms pressed together in namaste. A purple backdrop and gold deity murti with floral garlands frame the scene. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure on the throne, identified by a turban, saffron-red clothing, gold ornaments and a ceremonial staff, while the standing man in white is a devotee.

February 22 20172017-02-22February 22 20172017-02-22A seated figure on an ornate gold throne under a gold canopy in a hall with white-covered sofas. He wears a maroon turban, a sandalwood-coloured robe, a long beaded mala and gold jewellery, and gestures with his right hand toward a standing man. The standing man, seen from behind, wears saffron-orange robes and has grey hair. Behind them a large red-toned backdrop shows a painted deity with a trident, rudraksha beads and a tiger-skin wrap, and a brass oil lamp stands at the side.
