A seated man sits cross-legged on a red and gold cushioned dais before an ornate gold throne with carved lion and floral motifs. He wears an orange and black tiger-striped sleeveless garment, a red-brown dhoti with gold border, a multi-strand white beaded necklace, rudraksha-style beads and gold bangles on his arms and ankles, with a red bindi and sacred ash marks on his forehead. Long, swept-back dark hair falls to his shoulders and he smiles. Two red-covered low tables flank him on red cloth, and a brass pot and a staff-like rod stand to the right; a painted deity figure with orange and green garments appears in the background. Swamiji (probable) is the sitting teacher, identified by his long hair, ornate gold seat, tiger-striped garment and beaded adornments.
