A photograph of a seated figure in an orange-and-maroon robe with a long red-and-white flower garland, holding a silver trident upright toward a group of devotees in a decorated room with orange drapes and framed portraits on the walls. Several people kneel and sit on the floor around him: a woman in a white sari with a red border holds a tray of red flowers, a young man in white dhoti with rudraksha beads sits nearby, and a child in white sits beside her. Standing devotees in saris and a white shirt watch, one woman with palms joined. Framed portraits hang behind, one showing a figure in orange turban. The scene appears to be a blessing or darshan.

The right-side figure, bare-chested with a red-orange cloth, long swept-back dark hair, a white jasmine and red flower garland, gold armbands and a silver staff-like rod, is seated on a red-upholstered chair; these appearance cues are distinctive but a face-based identification is not made, so the a person field is unsure.

A woman in a white sari with gold border and gold jewellery holds flower petals. Standing behind are men in white dhotis and orange robes, and onlookers including a woman in a blue sari and children.
