A seated figure in an orange-saffron turban and saffron robe with a gold border sits on a gold throne, wearing a red and green flower garland, a gold bead necklace and bangles, and holds out small wrapped sweets to a woman in a teal saree and a toddler sitting on a red-patterned rug at his feet. Behind him stand a man in a dark rudraksha mala and orange robe, a bald man bending in orange clothing, and a brass oil lamp with a peacock-shaped finial, with a purple starry backdrop. Scattered rose petals lie on the rug and a table holds more sweets. The figure's appearance matches the presentation cues of a saffron turban, ornate gold and rudraksha, so the identity is probable Swamiji (probable) in a seated darshan role.
