A ceremonial scene inside a decorated temple-style hall with a yellow wooden door behind and painted pillars. A seated man in saffron robes and a golden crown sits on a tiger-skin-covered wooden swing seat hung from gold-painted chains and garlanded with pink and red flower strands, wearing gold necklaces and a flower garland. A shaved-headed attendant in orange cloth holds the swing's chain. On the right, a long-haired sannyasi in orange robes stands beside a large silver vessel on another swing, while a bare-chested attendant in white dhoti and an orange-clad figure stand nearby. Brass lamp stands and kalasha-like vessels frame the scene. The seated man appears to be Swamiji (probable), based on the crown, saffron robes and ornate gold adornments.
