A seated figure in an orange-and-maroon robe with white jasmine garlands and rudraksha mala beads on a bright orange cushioned seat has one foot being washed by a woman in an orange sari and a man in white shirt and trousers kneeling beside a brass plate of water and oil lamps. A younger person in orange clothing with a garland holds a silver staff nearby, and a boy stands behind a sofa in a living room with framed religious pictures on the wall. The scene shows a padapuja foot-worship ritual in a devotee's home. The seated figure has distinctive long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ornamental bangles, which is consistent with the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues, presented as the honoured guest of the padapuja.
