A seated man on an ornate gold-and-red throne with his eyes closed and palms pressed together, wearing an orange saffron shawl over a leopard-print top, long dark hair swept back and a tilak on his forehead. Around him devotees kneel in prayer with folded hands: a woman in a teal blouse and cream sari, a woman in a yellow sari, a man in a white shirt with rudraksha mala, and others in white. Brass trays of flowers and fruit sit in front of the throne, and a gold-framed side table holds more offerings. The setting is a hall with a dark blue curtain and a painted temple backdrop on the right. The seated figure has distinctive long swept-back hair and saffron shawl, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) on a throne being honoured during a pada puja.
