A seated man in a saffron-orange robe with a white flower garland and rudraksha mala sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne, holding a tall silver staff. Two women in orange robes kneel on a red mat, pouring water over his feet from a brass vessel and mixing it in a bowl, a padapuja-style foot-washing ritual. A woman in a white sari with a jasmine garland and a man in white clothes kneel nearby, pouring from brass vessels and offering to the feet. A young girl in red and a sari-clad woman sit at the right edge. Brass lamps and bowls rest on the mat, with a sofa and a staircase behind. Possibly Swamiji (probable), seated on the throne at the centre, shown by his long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and saffron robe.
