A seated man in orange and gold saffron robes raises one hand in blessing on an ornate golden throne (peetha) framed by red and white flower garlands and red cushions. He wears a long white and red garland, a gold necklace, and a bindi, with long swept-back hair. Silver vessels, a bowl of fruit with apples and oranges, and a flower-decorated altar sit in front. Beside him at right, a woman in glasses and an orange shawl bows her head over offerings. Behind the throne hang red and gold brocade drapes. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, orange and gold robes, gold necklace and garlands on a throne suggest the central figure, shown in a seated blessing pose.
