A central figure wears a cream-gold turban with a jewelled ornament, a peach-coloured shawl, multiple strands of heavy gold beaded necklaces, gold armbands and a red bindi, and raises one hand in blessing while holding a tray of small items. Around him, devotees in white shirts and checked shirts bow with hands folded, and two men in saffron robes stand nearby, one with a rudraksha mala, one with white markings on the forehead. Swamiji (probable) appearance cues: turban, gold necklaces and peach ornate shawl, giving blessings to devotees.
