A seated man on an ornate gold throne with a large gold arched backrest and red cushions is being offered an aarti lamp by a priest in orange robes shown from behind on the left. The seated man wears a cream turban with a green and gold ornament, a green and red silk garment with a red border, and multiple rudraksha malas around his neck and arms. He smiles and sits with hands clasped, bare feet resting on a gold platform decorated with purple flowers and small offering bowls. The Swamiji (probable) cues are the swept-back long hair, turban, ornate silk clothing and rudraksha malas of the seated figure, who is receiving aarti. Behind the throne is a dark wall with a small gold-embossed emblem. The printed copyright line and Source reference in the lower right are not described.
