A central figure sits cross-legged on an ornate gilded throne with red cushions, wearing a royal blue dhoti-style garment with a yellow waist sash, rudraksha-style beaded necklaces, bangles and a yellow shawl, with hands in a teaching gesture. Swamiji (probable) is the central figure on the throne, identified by the visible long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold necklace and ornate clothing cues. Two women in white garments sit on the left and a man in white with an orange shawl and beaded mala sits on the right, all seated on a red carpeted platform. Behind them is a painted backdrop of a temple corridor with pillars and a crowd of devotees in red and orange garments.
