A bearded man in a rust-brown turban and rust-brown shawl stands on a stage, raising his right hand in a blessing gesture and holding a silver trident in his left. He wears heavy gold necklaces, rudraksha bracelets and a gold ornament on the turban, with a white vibhuti line on his forehead and a red bindi. Behind him a large painted backdrop shows a multi-armed deity with orange skin and gold jewellery, and gold leaves frame the top of the scene. A single figure is visible. Swamiji (probable): the figure wears saffron-toned clothing, a turban and multiple ceremonial gold necklaces, with a trident as a ritual implement.
