On the right, a long-haired man in an orange-saffron cloth with a rudraksha-style mala and ornate gold-and-brown bead necklace sits on a red and gold throne, raising one arm and smiling. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and beaded necklaces on a throne. Beside him, a younger shaved-headed man in red-orange robes and a dark mala stands near a camera on a tripod. A man in white clothes with a green lanyard raises an arm in the foreground, and another devotee with long dark hair sits in the bottom right. Gold ritual vessels and a red backdrop complete the setting.
