A seated man in a gold-and-red ornate throne with a carved gilt back and red cushions sits with palms pressed together in namaskar, wearing a white-and-orange wrap, a pink and white flower garland, a gold necklace, gold armlets and a tilak on his forehead. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold necklace and ornate ritual attire with distinctive adornments. Before him on a striped rug, a man in a bare back lies prostrate in full obeisance, with flower petals scattered nearby. Behind, a seated devotee in orange sits on a striped mat beside a standing black fan and cables, and a stone pillar stands at left.
