A seated man in a rust-red turban with a small gold emblem, bare-chested with a rust-red and gold shawl, and a multi-strand beaded necklace and beaded armlets, smiles as he rests both hands on the head of a kneeling young man in a pale green striped shirt and rudraksha mala who holds his palms together in greeting. The seated man is in the style of a probable Swamiji: the cues are the red turban, ornate beaded jewellery and saffron-toned robe. He sits on a red tiger-striped cushioned seat in front of an ornate gold carved throne back, with a dark maroon curtain behind and a white floor-standing air conditioner at right. A person in white stands at the right edge.
