Devotees in ritual attire perform worship before a seated figure on an ornate gilded throne with a golden umbrella canopy. The central figure wears an orange robe, an orange turban, rudraksha beads, and a garland of flowers, with hands raised in blessing. Kneeling devotees in orange and white clothes and a woman in a yellow-bordered white sari offer prayers, while silver and gold plates of offerings, flowers and lamps sit on a golden stand. A trident and ceremonial staffs stand beside the throne, and a painted temple scene is behind it. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, orange ceremonial robes, rudraksha malas, and a seated throne position. The central figure is the probable Swamiji, seated on the throne and receiving pada puja.
