A seated man in an orange-saffron dhoti-style robe and rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions and a golden lion armrest, a tiger-striped cloth draped over the seat. A devotee in a white shirt and white trousers bends low, touching the seated man's feet, while a second figure partly stands behind. The backdrop is a painted temple-style wall with a multi-armed deity holding a trident and a mace, pink and green pillars, and brass oil lamps stand at the right. The seated figure has long swept-back hair, gold bangles and a ceremonial gold necklace, consistent with the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues. Four people are visible.

A long-haired figure in a rust-orange robe sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne draped with a red-green-yellow flower garland, one hand extended in a gesture toward a man in white. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with a saffron-robed sannyasi, but cues are limited, so identity is uncertain.
