A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long, swept-back dark hair and a white floral garland sits on an ornate golden throne decorated with marigold and white flower garlands and a bolster. Two men attend him: a man in white dhoti with an orange shawl holds a silver tray on yellow cloth, and a man in white kneels at his feet, bowing forehead to his feet during a paada puja ritual. A microphone stand stands beside the throne against a maroon curtain, with flower-covered pillars at right. The seated figure's distinctive long hair, orange robes and ceremonial garlands fit the probable Swamiji (probable) appearance cues, and the scene matches a Guru Purnima paada puja.
