A seated man in long dark hair and an orange saffron shawl sits cross-legged with eyes closed and hands joined in his lap, a red tilak on his forehead and a marigold flower tucked in his hair. A microphone on a stand is near him. In front of him is a metal tray holding a stack of wood pieces, and a plate of orange marigold flowers sits to the right. A small child stands in the background, with people's legs visible at the top edge. The setting is an outdoor paved area, consistent with a homa or puja being performed. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, a distinctive cluster of cues.
