Inside a decorated pavilion, a figure seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a red-orange cushioned seat wears a crimson turban, a red-orange robe and a white floral garland with pink flowers in hand; this is the Swamiji (probable) based on the turban, saffron-orange robe and garland cues, seated as recipient of honour. Before the throne, a white-clad priest with a gold-bordered dhoti bends forward holding a brass tray of fruits and flowers. A woman in an orange sari with a red border stands with palms pressed together. Another white-clad man stands at left with his back to the camera. A large screen behind shows women in pink and red saris. Floral petals lie on a striped rug.
