A seated man in an orange and maroon turban and saffron robe, wearing a large garland of white flowers and green beads and a rudraksha mala, holds a tall silver staff raised overhead while seated on a low platform covered with pink and white petals. Swamiji (probable) is shown with long hair and ornate clothing, giving a seated blessing role. Around him, a woman in a white sari with an orange shawl holds a small flame, and seated devotees with folded hands include an older woman in white and orange, a man in white with a rudraksha mala, and a younger woman in orange. A boy in an orange shirt and another in a dark jacket stand in the background beside a white wall and a standing fan. Two attendants in orange dhotis stand behind the platform.
