A smiling man seated cross-legged on a leopard-print cushion before an ornate silver-and-copper throne, in a night setting with warm blurred lights behind him. He wears a maroon robe with gold borders, a leopard-print waist cloth, multiple rudraksha malas and a heavy gold ceremonial necklace with a large gold pendant, plus gold armlets and bangles. A white vibhuti band with a red kumkum dot marks his forehead, and his hair is swept back. He sits with one hand resting on his lap. Appearance-based cues here (rudraksha malas, ceremonial gold necklace, swept-back hair, ornate dress) are consistent with Swamiji (probable), seated in the role of a teacher at a discourse.
