A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long, swept-back hair and a long mala of gold-coloured beads sits on an ornate gold throne decorated with yellow and multicoloured marigold garlands. A devotee in white kurta and white dhoti with a yellow shawl bends forward to offer padapuja at the feet of the seated figure, who rests bare feet on a gold footstool with a cushion. A seated priest in orange robes sits at the left edge. Behind the stage, a large portrait shows a smiling man in an orange headwrap, and the backdrop is orange with Kannada script and gold ceremonial staffs on either side. The throne figure is an appearance-based probable Swamiji with saffron robes, long hair and gold mala, seated in the honoured position of a guru receiving padapuja.
