A seated figure in orange and saffron robes with a gold-yellow border sits on an ornate silver-carved throne, wearing a large rudraksha mala and gold necklace with a red tilak on the forehead. A small fire burns on a white-draped platform in front of him, with brass bowls and offering trays. Two women in orange saris with yellow borders kneel and perform rites, one holding a flower arrangement of orange and red blooms. A seated figure in dark clothing sits in the foreground with their back to the camera. A large orange-turbaned banner portrait of a smiling man and chakra graphics appear on the backdrop. Probable Swamiji: long swept-back hair, saffron robes, rudraksha mala and gold necklace on the throne, with a fire ritual in progress.
