A seated man in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back dark hair, a white forehead marking, a white and red-yellow flower garland, and a rudraksha-style bracelet holds out a silver bowl of white powder while a man in a white shirt and white dhoti kneels and reaches toward it. Behind them, a crowd of devotees in orange and white clothing sits on stone steps, with a pillared temple colonnade above. The scene looks like a ritual blessing; the saffron-clad figure's cues are long hair, saffron robes and garland, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in person seated and offering prasad to a kneeling devotee. Around 25 people are visible.
