A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long, swept-back dark hair and a red tilak on the forehead sits on a white-draped seat at the right, extending a hand toward a visitor. A man in a red shirt and brown trousers, wearing glasses, holds up a folded paper with both hands in conversation. Behind them a man in white with a rudraksha mala and an orange shawl stands by a white-draped table holding out a tray of sweets and offerings. Other people stand and sit around, including a man in an orange shawl and a person in white with a rudraksha mala, and several people in the foreground are partially visible. A red-flowered vase, a trident and a wall fan appear in the background. Several printed booklets lie on the table at lower right.

A figure seated on a white-covered chair wears a sleeveless saffron/orange robe, has long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi, and places one hand on the head of a kneeling devotee. Visible cues include long hair and saffron clothing, supporting a probable identification as Swamiji (probable). Around him, a young man in a white kurta with a rudraksha mala kneels with palms joined, a woman in a white sari with a long braid bows forward with joined hands, and another devotee's hand appears at the lower edge. Standing behind them, two attendants wear white kurtas with saffron shawls and rudraksha malas; one holds a silver tray with flowers, a cloth and offerings. A red floral arrangement, a trident-shaped stand and a standing fan are visible in the background.2008-03-22
