A bearded man with long dark hair, bare-shouldered in a rust-red robe with a gold belt and a pink-and-white flower garland, stands with palms pressed together in namaskar while a large flaming aarti lamp is held toward him from the right. Several people in white and light-coloured saris stand behind him in a stone-walled courtyard, with a colourful fringed canopy visible at upper left. The scene suggests a darshan or aarti moment. The man's distinctive long hair, saffron-red robe, ornate gold necklaces and garland match the probable Swamiji cues, so he is labelled a probable Swamiji in appearance.
