A seated man in an orange-saffron robe with long dark hair sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head armrests, hands pressed together in namaste. Before him a devotee in a white kurta with a red cord kneels with folded hands, and a woman in a white sari with yellow shawl sits nearby. Two more devotees in the foreground face the throne, and a tray of sweets, flowers and fruit sits on a red cloth beside a digital clock. The setting is a tent-like canopy with white and red draped fabric. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, saffron robe and gold throne with ceremonial setting.
