Behind them a standing man in white with an orange shawl and a bald-headed man in white with an orange shawl stand by, and a white-clad figure in an orange shawl and rudraksha mala stands at the top. A tray of offerings sits on the white-covered seat, and at lower left two women in white and orange shawls watch, one holding a card. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair and saffron robes, a satsang-style darshan with a devotee bowing.
