He wears saffron-orange robes, long swept-back dark hair, multiple beaded rudraksha-style malas, a large ceremonial pendant and gold necklace, gold armbands and bangles, and his hands rest together in his lap. Out-of-focus flame-like lamp lights fill the foreground, and a hand holding a small brass item appears at the lower right beside a brass lamp stand. Colourful painted panels frame the background. The scene is a satsang setting, and the seated figure is an appearance-based probable Swamiji (probable) with distinctive saffron robes, long hair, malas and ornate gold necklace.
