A seated man in saffron-orange clothing and a saffron turban sits on an ornate golden throne with red tiger-striped cushions, wearing a large garland of orange marigolds, red flowers, green leaves and white blossoms, plus a rudraksha-style red and blue bead necklace. He extends his hand toward a young woman in white clothes with a red bindi who kneels before him, holding a plate or bowl with small items and a pair of folded paper sheets. Behind them, a banana-leaf backdrop, a hanging saffron-and-yellow cloth with floral motifs, and a crowd of people in white garments with white headbands and orange-clad attendees. Golden lion or animal figure detail sits beside the throne. Probable Swamiji (probable) is seated centrally, identified by saffron turban, orange clothing, garland and throne.
