A seated figure on an ornate gold-carved throne with red cushions wears a red turban, rudraksha mala necklaces, a gold pendant and gold bangles, draped in red and gold cloth. A bare-chested devotee in white dhoti with white vibhuti markings bends forward and receives something from the seated figure's hand, while another bare-chested man in white dhoti stands behind, holding the devotee's shoulder. A yellow flower and white cloth lie near the throne, with a light-coloured sanctum-like setting and a few onlookers in the background. Swamiji (probable) cues here are the turban, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold jewellery worn by the seated figure, though identity remains uncertain from appearance alone.
