A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on a leopard-print cushioned seat beneath a red and white canopy with fringed tassels. He has long dark hair, a rudraksha mala with beads around his neck, and a tilak on his forehead, and he raises one hand in a blessing gesture while smiling. Two men in white shirts and dark trousers stand behind him holding long wooden poles that support the canopy. A flame burns at the lower left edge of the frame, and a figure in white sits at the bottom right beside a small brazier. The appearance-based label Swamiji (probable) applies to the central figure, who wears saffron robes, long hair, rudraksha beads and blesses the scene from a ceremonial seat.
