A seated man on an ornate gold-and-red throne receives an offering from a priest in white dhoti and gold-bordered sash, who extends a hand holding a folded white cloth. The seated man wears a rust-brown robe, layered rudraksha malas, a heavy gold necklace with a large pendant, gold armbands and wristbands, and a vertical tilak with a red bindi on his forehead. Another attendant in white stands at the right edge, and a red curtain hangs behind the throne. Swamiji (probable) is present; his long hair, ornate gold necklaces and rudraksha malas match the in-person cues, and the page describes him as present.
