A festive temple scene with a large floral backdrop of yellow marigolds, orange and red roses, and green foliage. A smiling man in the centre wears a dark-red garment, a multi-strand rudraksha mala, a pink flower garland and a red tilak, and holds a red flower near a bowed devotee's head. To the left, a man with shoulder-length hair and a rudraksha mala gestures with his hands. A kneeling devotee in a white dhoti with gold border bows with bare back. A golden lion-head sculpture and brass lamps appear at right, with onlookers behind. Swamiji (probable): the centre man has long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ceremonial garlands, consistent with a guru receiving devotees during Guru Purnima celebrations.
