A seated man in the centre of a hall wears a saffron-orange shawl over rust-red robes, multiple rudraksha malas and a gold pendant necklace, with a leopard-print waist sash. He sits on an ornate white carved throne with red upholstery, eyes closed, a red tilak on his forehead, hands resting on his lap. In front, a seated devotee's head and a shaved-headed attendant in red clothing are visible. Behind, a woman in white with pressed palms and a man in white ritual dress sit in the background, with a gold-and-red altar decoration beyond. The scene suggests a seated meditation or initiation session. Swamiji (probable): the seated central figure with long swept-back hair, saffron shawl, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklace.
