A bearded man with a white-and-red tripundra on his forehead sits smiling on an ornate silver-and-red throne with his hands clasped at his chest. He wears rust-orange robes, a heavy gold necklace and a dark rudraksha mala. Behind him stands a golden deity murti in yellow and white drapery, flanked by brass lamps, green potted plants and a red curtain, with a golden trident leaning at the left. Probable Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala, ceremonial gold necklace and orange robes, seated on a throne in the role of presiding teacher.
