A seated man in an orange-and-red robe, with long swept-back hair, places his palm on the forehead of a older man in a white shirt with shoulder insignia who bends forward and clasps his hands. A standing attendant in orange robes with a sacred thread holds a small item behind them. Behind is a gold ornate throne decorated with flower garlands in pink, white and yellow, a red-and-orange backdrop with a painted tree and temple motif, a water bottle and a tray of fruit and offerings. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with Swamiji (probable), given long swept-back hair and orange-and-red saffron clothing on a throne, so this is marked as in person.
