A seated man in a deep maroon-red robe wears a tall white and gold crown and heavy garlands of white jasmine and red flowers, sitting before an orange and red draped backdrop with more garlands. Women in cream and gold-bordered saris and a young girl in a pink top and purple skirt stand around him; one woman holds a bundle of green limes toward him while others offer limes and flowers. A shirtless priest in white dhoti with a rudraksha mala stands at left, and a wicker basket of limes sits in the foreground. A framed tree painting hangs on the wall and a box of brass items and books rests on a table. Multiple people are visible, most partly cropped.

Around him, a priest in white dhoti and a woman in a white kasavu sari with gold border offer fruits and flowers; a basket of green and orange fruits sits in the foreground. Several women and a small girl in pink stand behind, a man in white bends forward to receive a blessing, and a banner with orange and red drapes behind them. Devotees gather in a domestic room with a plastic fan, a laptop and a box of gifts. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure is recognizable by his crown, flower garlands and red-brown robe, and is being honoured by devotees with fruit and flowers.2017-04-02April 02 20172017-04-02
