A seated man with long dark hair and a beard wears a rust-orange robe and a long brown rudraksha-style mala, sitting on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a carved lotus-petal back. He extends his hand toward a man in a white shirt and white trousers with an orange shawl, who bends forward with palms joined and receives him. Behind them stands a gold ceremonial canopy with orange and green fringed banners. Two women in white garments and orange shawls stand at the right beside a carved stone pillar, and a red curtain backdrops the scene. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne with long swept-back hair, a beard, orange robe and rudraksha mala, and is the figure being honoured. The visible people number about four.
