A seated man in an orange-saffron robe with a pink flower garland and a bare upper arm extends his right arm toward a devotee in a white shirt with an orange shawl, who raises both hands overhead. The seated man holds a folded white paper in his left hand, and a tall golden staff stands between them. A golden lion-faced throne armrest and a peacock-feather fan are visible at left, and a framed picture hangs on a pale wall behind. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, a saffron robe, a flower garland and ceremonial gold throne ornament, giving the cues for the probable identification; the devotee in white is a person receiving blessing.
