A seated figure on an ornate golden throne with a lion-carved armrest is receiving padapuja from a group of devotees. The seated person wears an orange-brown dhoti-style cloth with a gold-bordered yellow edge, a bare upper body, a pink and white flower garland, a gold necklace and gold armlets, and has a red mark on the forehead. Several devotees kneel around a silver tray holding small brass lamps, flowers and offerings, and pour or wash the feet. Among them are a woman in an orange sari with a rudraksha mala, a woman in a white top, a woman in a pink sari, an older woman in a red sari, a young boy in white, and an older man in white clothes at the right holding a small silver vessel. Brass hanging bells and oil lamps hang on the black wall behind. Probable Swamiji is seated on the throne, identified by the distinctive long swept-back hair, gold necklace and orange garments.
