A seated man in rust-brown ochre robes raises his right hand in blessing on an ornate gold throne with a red velvet cushion and a tiger-striped throw. He wears a white and red tilak on his forehead, rudraksha bracelets and mala beads, and a long chain of gold beads and a garland of white jasmine, yellow and red flowers. A Yamaha DTX keyboard on a stand sits to his left, with a microphone visible at the upper right. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, ochre robes, a rudraksha mala and a ceremonial gold necklace, seated on a throne in the role of the teacher giving initiation.
