Before him a kneeling man in a white shirt and red sash bends forward, touching his hands to a large silver bowl of yellow grains on a green cloth. A white fan, a red and white striped mat and a gold-trimmed table are visible. A probable Swamiji appears as the seated figure, distinguished by long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces and saffron-orange clothing, seated on a throne during a ritual offering.
