A seated man in rust-brown robes and a pink-and-white flower garland sits on an ornate gilded throne with carved lion-head arms and leopard-print cushions, eyes closed and right palm raised. A standing priest in saffron-orange cloth and a saffron turban, seen from behind and bare-chested, holds up a lit oil lamp toward him. Hanging brass bells and a gold-framed backdrop surround the throne. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has a long-hair, crown-like headdress, ceremonial gold necklace and rudraksha-style beads; the appearance cues are moderate, so the label is probable rather than certain. The scene reads as a puja with aarti being offered.

A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne with carved peacock and lion motifs and a leopard-print cushion. The person wears a tall black turban-style headdress with a gold crown ornament, an orange-saffron robe, a long gold necklace with a pendant, and a rudraksha mala. A microphone on a stand is in front of him, and he is smiling as if speaking to an audience. The figure's appearance is consistent with the Swamiji (probable) cues of a tall dark turban with gold crown, saffron clothing, and rudraksha malas, seated in a teaching role on a throne.
