Three seated men on gold-carved thrones in a bright temple-style hall with turquoise and pink walls. On the left, a smiling man in saffron-orange robes, a rudraksha mala and a white-and-red flower garland sits with hands folded, a crown on his head, on a gold throne with a lion beside it. Centre, a man in orange robes and a red headcloth sits on a smaller gold throne. On the right, a man in brown-orange robes and a crown, with a white-and-red garland and rudraksha beads, sits with a hand near his face on a red-cushioned gold throne. Behind them, large painted guardian figures with raised weapons and gold crowns flank a dark shrine doorway hung with brass bells and green leaf festoons. A red carpet covers the floor. Swamiji (probable) appears as the smiling man on the left, based on saffron robes, rudraksha mala, crown and garland; he is seated on a throne rather than identified by name in the scene.
