A bearded man with long matted hair, a crescent ornament at the top of his head, and a red-orange saffron garment sits on an ornate gold throne, smiling as he is showered with petals and offerings. He wears a long garland of pink and white flowers, a heavy gold-and-bead necklace, gold bangles, and a leopard-print cloth at his waist. Two attendants stand beside him: one in an orange dhoti and yellow sash holds a woven basket of offerings and sprinkles a green leaf bundle, while another in an orange dhoti stands at the right edge. A few onlookers stand behind in the background. Probable Swamiji is seated in the centre as the main honoured figure, with gold cues including the throne, bangles and necklace, plus long hair, a crown-like crescent and saffron robes, consistent with a blessing ceremony during the Sadashivoham program.
