A seated bearded man with long dark hair and a red bindi sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, wearing a rust-red saffron-toned shawl over his bare chest and a long braided rudraksha-style mala. He holds a small clay or metal object in one hand toward a standing man in a cream-white ceremonial dhoti and kurta, with a rudraksha mala and gold bangles, who bows forward with palms open to receive it. A large ornate silver-and-gold bowl sits in front of the throne, and a white pedestal fan and a golden trident-topped ceremonial staff stand behind. The setting is a temple-style stage with carved golden backdrop. The seated figure matches the Swamiji appearance cues: long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala.
