A seated figure in an orange-red turban and saffron robe sits on a red zebra-striped cushioned seat before a golden throne-like backrest. A large garland of orange, white, green and blue flowers, with red and blue beads, drapes over the shoulder and arm, and gold jewellery adorns the wrist. A white-shirted devotee with a white tilak on the forehead and an orange garland kneels, offering or touching a small brass bowl and a sprinkling of ritual substance. Behind them, saffron-garlanded attendants in white stand among a crowd under banana leaves and a patterned banner at night. The seated figure's appearance and distinctive ceremonial cues, including the turban, saffron clothing and floral garland, are consistent with a probable Swamiji (probable) receiving a ritual offering as honoured guest.
