A seated man in saffron and orange robes holds a silver plate of coconuts, fruit and two burning flames in front of him, eyes lowered in devotion. He wears a heavy gold bead necklace and a red bindi with white tilak on his forehead. Behind him is an ornate gold-framed red velvet throne with crystal buttons and a patterned cloth. The scene suggests an aarti or puja offering. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron robes and a gold bead mala fit the candidate, seated on a throne and presenting an offering.
