Ceremonial scene on a stage before a large golden arched backdrop. A seated man in the centre wears a maroon-red turban with a silver crescent and jewelled ornament, a red-brown dhoti-style drape, heavy gold necklaces, a gold ornate pendant and gold armlets, and gestures with his raised arm. Swamiji (probable) is the appearance-based candidate for this seated figure, given the turban, ornate gold and saffron-red clothing. To the left, a bare-chested man in a white cloth with a white blindfold and white marks on his body stands with palms pressed together in namaste. A small copper vessel sits near the lower left, and gold-toned draped curtains frame the background.
