A seated figure in a red turban and red silk garment with gold border, wearing a long marigold and orange-yellow flower garland over a rudraksha mala, raises one hand in blessing while holding a trident-like staff, in a corner beside a handwritten paper sign reading KAILASA SAN DIEGO. In front, an orange-draped wooden table holds a brass plate of white flowers, bananas, a small white Ganesha statue, brass deity figures, a framed image, and a red-covered book. Below in the foreground, a red-draped table holds steel bowls of rice, yellow curry, chickpeas and a cup of liquid, plus a vase of yellow flowers at right. The seated figure is a probable Swamiji by appearance cues: red turban, marigold garland, rudraksha mala and red ceremonial silk, with a single person physically present.
