Three saffron-robed figures sit on ornate gold thrones in front of a turquoise and pink shrine backdrop with two large painted guardian deity figures holding tridents and maces. On the left, a long-haired man in orange clothes with a gold necklace and rudraksha mala sits with palms pressed together and smiles. On the right, an elderly man with white vibhuti markings and a rudraksha mala holds up a white paper to read aloud. A third seated figure in orange and a red head cloth sits in the centre background between hanging brass bells. A golden lion sculpture stands beside the left throne and a red-carpeted stage lies below. The left figure has distinctive long hair, saffron clothing and a rudraksha necklace, which is a probable match for Swamiji (probable) seated in a ceremonial role, while the other figures are a reader and a seated attendant.
