A smiling man with swept-back dark hair and a small vermilion tilak on his forehead stands in front of a plain pale wall, wearing an orange-red shawl with a gold border draped over his shoulders. He wears a heavy gold bead necklace with a rudraksha bead on a white bead mala. Behind him a shaven-headed young man in orange robes stands partly visible, and a woman with her head turned away appears blurred at left. The man's hands are clasped at his waist. The orange-and-gold attire and gold garland suggest a swami-style ceremonial dress, though the setting is an indoor gathering of devotees.
