A photograph inside a pillared hall of a seated man on a gilded throne with a golden crown-like headpiece, wearing an orange-red saffron cloth draped over the body and a long gold-beaded mala necklace with a gold pendant; a red bindi is on his forehead and his hands rest folded in his lap. Before the throne a second man in orange robes with a yellow border, his head shaved and his forehead and arms marked with white ash lines, kneels and holds a small lamp or wick over a silver tray of offerings that includes pink flowers and fruit. Behind them is a blue and ochre painted panel with ornamental motifs, and a side table holds red fruit. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated figure, given the throne, saffron robe, gold crown-like headpiece and mala cues, while the kneeling priest is a ritual attendant performing puja offerings.
