A young man in a white kurta and white forehead markings stands on the left, smiling and handing a certificate in a clear sleeve to a seated figure on a gilded throne. The seated figure wears an orange-red turban, saffron-orange robe, a multi-strand gold bead necklace, and a long garland of white, orange, green, purple and red flowers, with a red bindi on the forehead. Behind them a large painted backdrop shows a golden deity murti with a crown and heavy gold jewellery, and an oil lamp (deepam) stands on the left with a shaved-head attendant in saffron behind it. A certificate with an emblem and printed headline is visible in the handover. Appearance-based candidate is probable Swamiji, seated and receiving the award; the seated figure's cues include turban, saffron robe and malas.
