A seated man in an orange-saffron robe and rudraksha-style beaded mala sits cross-legged on a wooden throne-like dais with a leopard-print cushion, raising his right hand in a blessing gesture. He wears a gold necklace and a red tilak, and his hair is long and full. Behind him, a gold deity murti of a seated goddess holding a child stands among green leafy plants, flanked by brass lamps, a trident, bells and kalasha-style pots. Red and multicoloured striped cloths cover the floor, with brass lamps and bowls of red fruit in the foreground. Red drapes hang behind the stage. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a rudraksha mala with gold ornament, presented in the role of a seated teacher giving a blessing.
