A seated figure in an orange-red turban and matching saffron-red robe with gold border sits on a throne-like chair with ornate gold carving. He wears layered rudraksha malas and a gold-bead necklace, and his arm is banded with beaded bracelets. An elderly man with white hair and glasses, in a light blue short-sleeved shirt and wristwatch, bends forward to offer his hands to the seated figure. Behind them, standing attendants in saffron-red robes hold a tall ceremonial staff, and a brass lamp stands on the right. The appearance of the seated figure matches the appearance-based cues for Swamiji (probable), with an orange turban, ornate gold-and-rudraksha adornment and a throne seat, while the bending man is a devotee receiving or offering blessing. Two more people stand at the right edge in white and saffron-red attire.
