A seated man in an orange-saffron robe with a gold-toned waist sash and a purple orchid garland sits on an ornate silver-and-gold throne with a dark red cushion and a tiger-striped seat cover, holding a white fly-whisk. Before him, a younger man in white dhoti and white shirt with an orange-saffron shawl kneels on a white patterned rug with palms pressed together in namaskar, while a woman in a white sari with gold trim sits behind them. Behind, several people in white and saffron clothing stand with hands folded, and a golden figurine sits at the lower left beside a vase of purple and white flowers. The seated man has long swept-back hair and a rudraksha-style mala, consistent with the page's identification as Swamiji (probable), who is shown receiving a padapuja from the kneeling devotee.
