A seated man in saffron-orange robes, with long hair and a red bindi, sits with palms pressed together in namaste on a gold and red-cushioned throne decorated with garlands of white jasmine, yellow marigolds and purple flowers. Devotees in white saris and white shirts sit on the floor before the throne; a woman in an orange top and a woman in white and gold cloth offer a brass plate of flowers and rice, and a woman in a yellow shawl joins in. Behind the throne hang gold drapes, with a sunflower arrangement, water bottles and a small wooden box with offerings on a white-covered table. The setting suggests a satsang or padapuja ritual. The seated man has long hair and an orange robe, a distinctive cue matching the page, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) seated on the throne.
