A bearded man with long dark hair sits in a carved wooden chair, smiling, holding a silver trident (trishul) upright in his right hand. He wears a rust-orange saffron robe with an orange shawl draped over one shoulder, a thick gold necklace and a round pendant, and a dark bindi on his forehead. A red cloth lies over the chair arm. Behind him, seated devotees in white clothes with orange shawls sit in a hall with pale walls and wooden doors, and a white pedestal fan stands in the foreground beside a brass object. The scene suggests a teaching session. Swamiji (probable): a bearded figure with long swept-back hair, saffron robes, a gold necklace and a trident in hand.
