A bearded man in a rust-orange turban with a jewelled ornament at the front and a long dark braid hanging behind him smiles broadly while holding a tall gold ceremonial staff topped with a trident. He wears a saffron-orange wrap, multiple rudraksha malas and ornate gold necklaces, gold armbands and a red tilak on his forehead. Around him a crowd of devotees, many women in colourful salwar and saris, fills the hall, some with hands raised. Swamiji (probable): the rust turban, saffron wrap, rudraksha malas and gold trident staff are visible cues.
