A kneeling priest in a rust-red robe holds a flaming aarti lamp toward a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a carved backrest and golden canopy. The seated man wears a rust-red dhoti and shawl with gold borders and a long rudraksha mala, and sits with hands raised in blessing. Two painted guardian figures with multiple arms, crowns and red dhotis flank the throne in a colourful shrine with blue, red and green decoration. Hanging bells and a polished white floor complete the temple-like hall. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and saffron-toned clothing, and is receiving aarti.
