A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a long gold ceremonial necklace of beads and a red thread on his wrist places his right hand on the forehead of a kneeling devotee in a white shirt and red-orange scarf. The devotee presses his palms together in respect. Behind them are golden lion-shaped ornaments, a silver trident on a stand, and a red tiger-striped throne cushion. A small piece of paper is visible near the devotee's hand. The seated figure has long swept-back hair and a bindi, and matches the Swamiji (probable) profile of appearance cues: saffron clothing and a gold ceremonial necklace.
