A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange head wrap sits on an ornately carved wooden throne with a dark red cushioned back, decorated with white jasmine garlands and red-and-pink flowers. He raises one hand in blessing and smiles, with a long rudraksha mala draped over his chest and bare feet resting on a carved wooden footstool. Kneeling beside him on the red-carpeted stage is a man in white ritual clothes, speckled with colour, wearing glasses and a vibhuti mark, holding up a framed photograph of the seated figure in matching orange. Behind them an arch with green, purple and silver trim and red accents frames the scene. The seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron robes, a head wrap, and a rudraksha mala, consistent with the Swamiji (probable) cues; the framed photo shows a depiction of him. Other visible people: the kneeling man presenting the framed photo.
