A seated man with long, swept-back dark hair sits on a gold-upholstered throne-style chair with red wooden arms, hands pressed together in front of his chest, eyes lowered in meditation. He wears a white kurta with a gold-bordered shawl. Behind him stand a tall brass oil lamp topped with a bird figure, green foliage, and a large arrangement of orange, pink and red flowers. A red and gold cloth hangs to the left and a dark backdrop with a banner reading Dhyana Spurana Program is at the top left. Swamiji (probable) appears to be the seated figure, identified by long swept-back hair and white ceremonial clothing with a shawl, in a presiding role during the meditation program.
