A seated man in a rust-red turban and matching rust-orange draped cloth sits on an ornate gold throne with a leopard-print cushion and gold dragon-like carvings. He wears heavy gold necklaces, a rudraksha mala, bangles and a white forehead marking, and reaches out to touch the hands of a young girl in white who kneels with palms pressed together. Other devotees in colourful saris and gold necklaces, including a woman with folded hands, and a small child in white sit nearby; a gold staff stands at left and the scene is lit at night. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's turban, saffron-toned draping, gold ornaments and rudraksha mala match the presentation cues, and he is shown receiving devotees on a throne during a deeksha-style blessing.
