A seated figure with a large swept-back dark hairstyle, wearing a red-maroon garment and a rudraksha-style red-brown mala, sits on an ornate gold-and-crimson throne. He leans forward to hold the hand of a young boy in white kurta with a red sash and a white tilak on his forehead, who stands at his side. Behind them a woman in white with a red shawl and tilak stands beside a man in white with a red sash and a mala. Gold-framed decorations, marigold garlands and a deity murti are visible in the background, with more people in red and white seated behind. Swamiji (probable) appears to be the seated figure on the throne, identified by his swept-back hair and maroon garment with rudraksha mala.
