A seated man in a red kurta and maroon dhoti with long dreadlocked hair and a full beard sits on a silver-and-leopard-print throne, smiling and extending his hand over a tray with a white card and a ritual offering. A woman in a pink blouse and white sari with a long braid kneels and presents the tray. Beside them an older man in glasses and a maroon shirt looks on. Behind, children and young people in orange and saffron clothes sit on striped mats in an evening setting with string lights, pillars and a camera operator visible. The man in red appears to be Swamiji (probable), given the long hair, red robes with a brown shawl and throne setting, and is seated in the centre of the scene.
