A seated person in an orange-red turban and saffron-orange robe sits on a golden, ornately carved throne draped with red fabric, wearing a multicoloured flower garland with green, white and blue accents, a red and blue rudraksha-style mala, and gold bangles. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has a distinctive turban and robe with ceremonial garlands and beads, which fit the page's Swamiji claim, though the face is not used for identification. Facing them, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti with an orange rudraksha mala bends forward and offers a small brass plate with lamps or an item. A banana plant, a patterned orange and green cloth, a golden lion-like ornament and a crowd in white stand behind in dim night light.
