A seated man in an ornate gold and red throne is dressed in orange robes, with a bare upper body, long orange-beaded rudraksha mala necklaces, gold necklace and orange-and-gold armbands; he wears a tilak on his forehead and long swept-back hair. Seated before him on the floor, devotees in patterned clothes hold brass plates; a gold tray holds small brass bowls, red flower petals and offerings, with a lit oil lamp behind the throne. Several devotees sit on mats in a room with a dark wall, a bright studio light, and a maroon curtain at right. The seated figure has distinctive long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji (probable), seated in the role of teacher receiving reverence.
