A bearded man with a tall dark purple wrapped turban and a white tripundra mark on his forehead sits on an ornate red velvet throne with gilded silver armrests. He wears a rust-red draped robe with a gold border, a gold necklace and a red-beaded bracelet, and raises his right hand in blessing. Behind him a large screen shows a painted image of two warriors with a staff and spear in pink tones. The man appears to be a probable Swamiji by the distinctive turban, saffron-red ceremonial robe and gold necklace cues, seated in a stage setting.
