A seated man in an orange sleeveless robe with a long black-and-orange rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne with carved gilt arms, eyes closed and hands folded in his lap. A central figure with long swept-back hair and a red bindi fits the Swamiji (probable) cues of long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads, and is in the in-person position. Before him, devotees sit on the floor with palms pressed together in namaste: a woman in a yellow sari, a woman in white and green, a shaved-headed woman in a green-patterned sari, and a woman in a floral sari in the foreground. Silver plates hold red apples, flowers and fruit; a fruit tray sits on a side table, and a white tower fan stands at right beside a pink wall. A man in white stands behind a window at upper right. The setting resembles a satsang or darshan with padapuja-style offerings.
