A seated man in a rust-orange garment with a long rudraksha mala draped over his shoulders sits on a red velvet seat beside an ornate gold throne-back, leaning forward to talk with a young boy in a navy and green striped polo shirt. A woman in a maroon top and a woman in a white sari with a braided hairstyle watch nearby. Behind them are garlanded deity murtis, yellow flowers, green foliage, a silver trident and a plate of offerings. The seated man is a probable Swamiji candidate by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala, orange clothing and a ceremonial setting.
