A seated man with long dark hair wears a white sleeveless top, a red and white flower garland, and maroon trousers. He sits on a cream upholstered chair with a striped animal-print cloth and raises both arms outward toward a kneeling man in a white shirt who faces him with palms raised. A silver rod with a small bird-shaped finial stands between them, and red-and-orange string lights and a red floor fill the background. A large red-and-gold tapestry hangs behind, with a stained-glass panel at right. The seated figure shows distinctive long hair and garland cues, but the appearance is not conclusive enough to confirm a person, so he is described by role as the seated teacher. Two physical people are visible.

The devotee wears a white kurta, an orange shawl over his shoulder, glasses and a gold bracelet, with his hands raised in respectful reception. Behind them stand a silver trident and a golden lion-head throne armrest, with a peacock-feather fan and red and white flower offerings at the lower left, and a red and blue banner with a deity image in the background. This appears to be a blessing or initiation moment at a satsang; a Swamiji (probable) is present in the seated position, with the cues of long swept-back hair, ochre robes, rudraksha-style garland and a ceremonial golden throne.2014-05-06September 09 20142014-09-09July 24 20142014-07-24May 11 20142014-05-11
