A stage scene in a temple-style setting with a silver and gold ornate throne draped in red. A man with a shaved head wears a white dhoti and stands with his back to the camera, touching the head of a seated bearded man. The seated man wears orange-saffron robes, multiple rudraksha malas and a gold necklace, with a crown-like headpiece, and sits on a red cushion. A bare-chested man in a white dhoti with gold border bends forward at the front of the stage. Two women in orange-red saris, one with a rudraksha mala, stand beside the throne. Pink and red cloth covers the platform, with a blue backdrop behind. Swamiji (probable) for the seated figure, identified by orange robes, rudraksha malas, crown and throne.
