A seated figure in a maroon-orange robe sits on a decorated throne at the centre of a room, wearing a white and red ceremonial crown, a garland of white jasmine and red flowers, and a rudraksha-style necklace. Devotees in front of him offer fruit and a box of sweets, with a woman in a green sari and red border leaning in and a man in a white-and-gold dhoti kneeling near the throne.

A flat-screen TV and a framed picture hang on the white wall at right, with a camera and a photographer in the foreground.

A man in a pink checked shirt bends forward to offer something to the seated figure's hands, while a woman in a white sari with a gold border and others in cream and brown saris stand around holding flowers, and a young boy in white holds a yellow fruit. A saffron-orange drape hangs behind, with a fan and a red-petalled floor. A woman at lower left sits with a brass vessel, and rose petals cover the floor. The scene reads as devotional honouring. The seated figure matches the appearance cues of Swamiji (probable), in a crown and rust-brown robe with garlands.2017-04-02
