A kneeling devotee in orange robes with a rudraksha mala presses his palms together in a respectful namaste beside the throne, while a young man in white and a yellow shawl sits on the carpet at left. A second gold throne with red cushions and garlands stands empty at left, and a large smiling portrait fills the background backdrop. A microphone stands at the right edge of the stage. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron robes and a garland, and sits on the central throne in a ceremonial setting.
