Outdoors on a sandy ground in front of unfinished concrete buildings, a man in saffron-orange robes sits on an orange-draped seat with a red and black patterned base, one hand raised as if speaking. He has long swept-back dark hair, a red tilak mark and a rudraksha mala. A red and multicoloured tasselled umbrella is held over him by a man in white dhoti and kurta with a yellow shawl and a rudraksha mala, who holds a metal umbrella pole. Behind them a bald man in white shirt and teal lungi stands near an orange-draped table, and a decorated deity murti in pink and gold garlands stands on a pedestal under a second tasselled umbrella. Trees and palms frame the scene. Given the long hair, saffron robes, rudraksha mala and orange-draped seat, the seated figure is Swamiji (probable).
