A seated figure with long dark hair, white forehead markings and a pink-and-green flower garland, bare-chested under an orange wrap, holds a sheet of paper and gestures toward a kneeling man in white with an orange shawl who has his palms pressed together. A silver trident-like staff stands between them, with a gold ceremonial object nearby. In the background an older woman in cream clothing and an orange scarf stands watching. The seated figure matches Swamiji (probable) by long swept-back hair, bare-chested orange wrap and ceremonial floral garland, presiding in the role of teacher receiving a devotee.
