A seated man in a rust-orange turban decorated with a peacock feather and white and gold ornaments, wearing an orange-red shawl over bare shoulders, a gold-beaded garland with rudraksha-style beads, gold bangles and a gold waist cloth, raises his right hand to his mouth as if eating from a bowl of prasadam. In front of him a terracotta pot with a white creamy offering and a silver tray of sweets are held by hands at the frame's edge. Behind him is a large gold ornamented throne-like backdrop and a blue cross-patterned wall. The Swamiji (probable) cues are the distinctive turban, peacock feather, ornate gold adornments and rudraksha garland, shown in a ritual offering setting.
