A seated man in an ornate gold throne with a red cushion wears saffron-orange robes, a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, holding an apple-like fruit while clasping the hands of a kneeling older man in a dark blue shirt. A bare-chested man with long dreadlocks and a white dhoti with gold border stands at left, another white-clad man kneels beside the throne, and a woman in a purple saree sits at right. Golden carved pillars, a red curtain and a painted deity backdrop surround the scene, with a brass lamp stand and a red rug on the floor. The throne seated figure has distinctive long swept-back hair, saffron robes and gold necklaces, consistent with Swamiji (probable) receiving devotees.
