A man in an orange turban with an ornate gold jewelled ornament at the front, orange draped garments with a gold-bordered sash, and heavy gold chains and bangles stands with palms pressed together in anjali before a lit oil lamp. Smoke drifts through the frame, and strings of yellow flowers line a wooden doorway on the right. A hand from the left holds the flame toward him. Appearance cues include the turban, gold ornaments and saffron clothing, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in a ritual pose, with his tilak visible on the forehead.
