Two men in white shirts and white dhotis bend forward to offer or adjust flowers at his feet. Behind him stands a white statue of a seated figure in orange robes and an orange turban, also garlanded, beside an ornate gold throne with a red and gold canopy.

A photograph of a ceremonial puja on a flower-decorated golden throne with a red cushioned backrest. A long-haired figure in an orange saffron robe with gold border sits on the throne, hands raised in blessing, adorned with white and blue-and-red garlands; the appearance-based label is a person, seated and receiving devotion. A man in a white kurta kneels before the throne, hands folded in reverence, while another man in orange stands behind with a tray. Red and pink drapes hang behind, with marigold and white jasmine garlands wrapped around the seat. At left a bearded man in orange shawl and white dhoti stands; at right a woman in orange sari sits on the floor. Bright floral decorations and brass fittings frame the scene.

A seated man in an orange saffron garment draped over a red sleeveless top smiles and holds his palms together in greeting. His hair is swept back into a bun at the nape. A man in a white dhoti and shirt kneels before him with his head bowed, touching the floor near the seated man's bare feet. Behind them, several standing men wear orange and white clothing; one in a beige shirt stands with arms folded and another in white holds his hands in namaste. Before the seated man are heaps of white cloth bundles decorated with yellow and pink flowers and marigold garlands on an orange cloth. The setting appears to be a raised concrete platform at night. Swamiji (probable) appears to be the seated figure receiving devotion, identified by orange saffron clothing with swept-back hair and a bun.
