A seated man in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back dark hair, a rudraksha mala and a small red mark on his forehead sits in an orange-upholstered armchair and smiles at a kneeling devotee in white kurta and dhoti with palms pressed together in namaskar. Behind them a standing attendant in white dhoti and orange shawl looks on. A brass tray holding fruit, rudraksha beads and offerings sits beside the chair, with brass lamps, bells and a stone carved shrine niche behind. The seated figure matches the a person appearance cues: long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads, seated as a guru receiving a devotee.
