A seated man in an orange-saffron shawl with gold border and a long rudraksha mala sits on a red-upholstered gold-backed throne, his hand resting on the forehead of an older woman in a red top and red headband. Her grey hair is pulled back. Behind them a shaven-headed man in saffron robes with a rudraksha mala stands by a red-draped table. Dark blue drapes and foliage form the background. The scene appears to be a blessing given to a devotee. The seated man is an appearance-based candidate for Swamiji (probable), identified by his long swept-back hair, saffron shawl with gold border, rudraksha mala and gold-backed throne; the identity is an appearance-based label only.
