A bearded man with long dark hair and a vertical tilak on his forehead sits smiling on an ornate gold-and-red throne. He wears a thick garland of pink roses over a brown shawl, with gold beads at his neck, and his chest is bare. Beside him a golden incense burner on a trident-shaped stand releases a thin stream of smoke. The blurred background shows seated audience members in a large hall. The scene looks like a satsang or darshan event. The man is an appearance-based probable Swamiji candidate in the role of seated teacher on a throne, distinguished by the rose garland, long hair and ornate clothing.
