A man in an orange-red turban with a gold ornamental front piece and long dark hair stands with palms pressed together in namaste, eyes lowered and smiling. He wears an orange-red dhoti with gold borders, a heavy gold necklace of beads and a gold pendant, a gold waist belt, gold armlets and bangles, and a red-and-white tilak on his forehead. A flame burns in an oil lamp at lower right, and yellow flower garlands hang along a wooden doorway at right. A blurred hand in the foreground holds a plate in the lower left corner. Appearance suggests Swamiji (probable), given the turban, long hair, orange clothing and gold ornaments, standing in a ritual setting as the central figure.
