A seated man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl with a long rudraksha mala and gold ceremonial necklace sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, hands folded, in front of a red backdrop with gold floral motifs. Probable Swamiji in appearance: long swept-back dark hair, orange clothing and rudraksha beads, presiding in a seated position. Before him a gold tray holds small brass bowls with offerings, flowers and oil lamps. Around the tray, four devotees sit on a red carpet: a young man in a blue shirt and orange shawl with palms pressed together, a woman in green with folded hands, and two young women in saffron and white or maroon saris, one with a long braid, listening attentively. A portrait of a smiling man in an orange turban is printed on the left backdrop beside a garlanded deity murti.
