A seated figure in a gilded ornate throne, centre of a shrine flanked by two painted deity statues with raised arms, one in green and orange, the other similarly coloured. The seated figure wears a red-orange turban, a red-orange robe with yellow border, and a flower garland around the neck, hands pressed together in greeting. A woman in a white sari with orange border sits at the right edge with hands folded, and a blurred hand holding a flame or lamp is in the left foreground. Bamboo poles and green vine decorate the stage, with hanging bells and a brass lamp above. The seated figure has distinctive red-orange clothing and a turban, matching cues for Swamiji (probable) seated on the throne, a presentation consistent with the page.

Flanking the throne are large painted guardian figures with gold crowns, ornate jewelry and green and orange garments. In the foreground, blurred devotees with folded hands face the throne, and a bright oil lamp or lit lamp appears at the left edge. The scene resembles a darshan in a temple.

The seated figure wears a rust-red turban, a rust-red shawl over a dark patterned garment, and a long rudraksha mala, holding a small golden ritual implement in one hand. Hanging brass oil lamps and bells frame the throne, flanked by painted deity figures with raised hands. Several people in the lower foreground sit facing the throne, including one bald figure in orange robes and a woman with hair in a bun.
