A seated figure on an ornate golden throne with red cushions and a tiger-print cloth wears a long maroon-and-gold dhoti-style garment, a large multicoloured flower garland with white and yellow blossoms, and white and red tilak markings on the forehead; he smiles and extends a hand toward a young man in a grey jacket and dark jeans who stands bowing with palms pressed together in greeting. Behind them, a bare-chested man in orange and a seated older man in orange robes are visible, and a few more people stand near a pale pink temple building with carved lattice windows. The person on the throne is a probable Swamiji by appearance cues: a presentation with long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold-throne seating, a garland and saffron-toned clothing, and the page names him at this event.
