A long-haired man in an orange-saffron robe, wearing a multicoloured flower garland, sits on a red throne-like seat in front of an ornate gold carved backdrop. He extends his arm to a devotee, a woman in white with a rudraksha mala, who is offering something to him. Other devotees, including a woman in white with flowers in her hair and a woman in a red blouse, surround him under a white tent, with a standing fan and vases of red and yellow roses nearby. Swamiji (probable): the man has long swept-back hair, saffron robe, and a floral garland, and is seated as the central figure on the throne.
