The figure raises one hand in a smiling wave. Below, a man in white kurta and dhoti with glasses and a vertical tilak kneels at the right, holding a framed photograph of the same saffron-clad figure toward the throne. A younger boy in a yellow outfit kneels beside him, also holding a framed portrait. Both white-clad devotees show red and yellow powder stains on their clothes.

Probable Swamiji is seated on the throne, identified by the orange turban and rudraksha mala, with devotees presenting his portrait.
