The devotee on the right wears a white dhoti-style garment and a gold armband and raises one hand toward the seated figure. Behind them, people in white clothes with red-orange shawls sit on the floor, a drum and a water bottle are on a low table, and an orange banner reads Inner Awakening. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), seated and receiving a devotee, identified by the turban, saffron robes, rudraksha mala and throne.
