A seated man in a rust-orange turban and orange-brown robe, wearing a blue and yellow flower garland and gold bangles, sits on a red-cushioned gold throne and gestures toward a tray of offerings. Beside him kneels a bare-chested priest in white dhoti with yellow tilak and rudraksha mala, and a standing attendant in orange wrap with yellow forehead paste holds a ritual implement. An older man in white kneels at the lower left holding a framed portrait, and several men in shirts stand behind. Gold-carved decor, potted plants and a white fan are visible. The seated man is a probable Swamiji with long swept-back hair, ornate gold jewellery and saffron robes, seated on a throne in a ritual setting.
