Indoor ceremonial scene in a gold-decorated hall with red carpet. A figure seated on a red leopard-print throne wears a rust-orange turban with a white flower, a rust-orange robe with gold border, a white jasmine garland and rudraksha-style beads; they are holding out their hands as an older man in white shirt and glasses bows low and reaches toward them. Behind, two women in white garments stand watching, one wearing a rudraksha mala, and a third woman in white stands to the right. The figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), seated and receiving reverence, based on the turban, saffron-orange robe, garland and rudraksha cues. Gold-carved screen and pillars form the backdrop.
