A man with long dark hair and a red-and-white tilak stands in an open-sided pavilion with a corrugated metal roof, hands joined at the chest in a namaskar gesture. He wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl with gold zari borders, a rudraksha mala across the chest and beaded armlets. Beside him a golden deity murti with multiple arms holds a trident-like staff and wears a purple garment and a crown-like headdress, with a red draped base. Sunlight and haze fill the background, with palm trees and a small building visible outside. A hanging yellow-and-blue cloth decoration is above. The scene appears to be a temple or ashram courtyard. Swamiji (probable): the orange robes, long hair, rudraksha mala and armlets are the qualifying cues for the standing man.
