A bearded man with eyes closed and a faint smile stands before a golden ornate throne with carved wooden panels behind it. He wears a dark maroon-brown unstitched wrap, a tall black turban with a band of rudraksha beads, a white vertical tilak on his forehead, and multiple ornate gold chains with pendants. A large garland of pink and yellow roses hangs from his neck to his waist, and his right hand rests on his chest. A silver vessel sits at the lower left edge. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), with long turban and rudraksha cues, presented as the seated central figure of a satsang-style ceremony.
