Three men sit on ornate gold thrones in front of a painted blue and yellow hall with two large painted guardian figures holding tridents and maces on either side. The man on the left, with long swept-back hair, a long orange robe, a ceremonial gold necklace and a rudraksha mala, sits on a gold lion-supported throne with a red cushion and smiles, probable Swamiji seated in a position of honour. The white-haired elder on the right, shaved-headed with vibhuti marks, wears an orange robe and a beaded mala and sits on a red-cushioned gold throne. A third figure in an orange robe and red turban sits on a smaller throne in the centre and raises a hand. Oil lamps hang in the doorway behind, with a red-and-cream carpet on the floor.
