A seated figure in an orange-red turban, orange-and-yellow robes and multiple strands of beaded brown malas is touching the forehead of an older man with grey hair who stands with palms pressed together in namaste. The man wears a cream-coloured top and an orange scarf printed with script. Behind them stand golden ornate carvings, red drapes and a wooden tray of apples on a golden stand. The seated figure appears to be a probable Swamiji by appearance: a turban, ornate beaded necklaces and saffron-toned robes, giving a blessing to a devotee in a darshan setting.
