A bearded man with long hair wound into a maroon turban decorated with a white jewelled ornament sits cross-legged on a tiger-skin-draped throne with eyes closed and a faint smile. He wears a rust-red shawl over the shoulders, a leopard-print cloth at the waist, multiple strands of rudraksha and gold beads and a large gold pendant, plus red-beaded armlets. He holds a small ceremonial implement in one hand. A tall gold trident stands to his right and a gilded bull figure is at his left. Seated devotees in front and to the sides, several in orange and red saris, watch in a bright hall with a white draped backdrop and camera equipment. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identified by the turban, rudraksha and gold ornaments.
