A seated man with long dark hair, a white-and-red forehead marking and a small red bindi, wears saffron-orange robes and presses his palms together in namaste. He is adorned with a heavy gold rudraksha-style necklace, gold armlets and bangles. Behind him sits a crowd of mostly men in white and orange clothing, some with hands folded. A second saffron-robed man with a shaved head and gold beaded necklace sits to the right, also in prayer. The setting appears to be an outdoor temple gathering with a stone floor. Swamiji (probable) appearance cues include long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ornate gold ornaments on a seated, praying figure.
