A seated man in an orange robe with long swept-back dark hair and a rudraksha mala sits on a red cushioned seat, eyes closed, one arm extended and a folded white paper in his hand. Gold ornaments and armlets adorn him. Facing him, a devotee in a white shirt with a grey beard and rudraksha beads bends forward with both palms raised toward him, in a blessing or greeting gesture. Behind them stand tall brass oil lamps with a lit flame, and two women in white and orange sit in the background near a window. Swamiji (probable) is the orange-robed figure seated, identified by long swept-back hair, orange robe, and rudraksha mala.
