A long-haired man in a tiger-striped saffron shawl and rust-orange dhoti sits cross-legged on a red cloth-covered dais in front of a large ornate gold backrest. He wears multiple strands of rudraksha and bead malas, a red bindi, and ankle bells, and holds a rope-like cord. Beside him stand a silver trident and a silver staff with bells, with brass lamps and fruit offerings on the floor. Behind him a painted deity murti with a crown and raised hand stands against a teal backdrop. Swamiji (probable) is the seated teacher, identified by his saffron tiger-print shawl, long swept-back hair, multiple rudraksha malas and ornate gold-backed seat.
