A courtyard scene at an ashram with red-painted walls, carved wooden columns and a bronze Nataraja statue on the right. A bearded man with long swept-back hair, wearing a rust-brown robe and a gold necklace, sits on an ornate red-cushioned throne and hands food from a metal tray to a young man in orange robes with layered beaded necklaces and bangles. Around them, several young people in orange and saffron garments and beads, a girl in a patterned yellow top, and a child with braids lean in, smiling. A fan and a striped cloth-covered seat stand behind them, with a painted portrait of a seated figure in the background. Swamiji appearance is a probable match based on the long swept-back hair, rust-brown robe and gold necklace, seated on a throne and serving food to devotees.
