A man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a white and orange flower garland around his neck, hands pressed together in namaste with eyes closed. A woman in white and yellow sari kneels to his right, also with palms joined and gold bangles on her wrists. In the foreground, silver plates holding offerings and a pile of gold-coloured items sit on the floor, with partially visible seated devotees at the lower left and bottom edge. Behind them are red-and-white painted pillars, an orange curtain and a tray of bananas and flowers. The seated man is an appearance-based probable Swamiji: long swept-back hair, saffron robes and a garland, seated on a throne with devotees honouring him.
