A man in a rust-red kurta and matching dhoti stands in a gilded stage doorway, smiling with one hand on his hip and a long golden staff resting across his shoulders. Gold lion and mythical beast sculptures flank the arch, with a brass lamp stand and a trident-topped kalasha-like finial at right. Painted deity figures with multiple arms line the blue-and-pink backdrop, and a patterned rug covers the floor. Hanging beaded strings frame the doorway. The setting resembles a staged temple-style set. The man appears to be a probable Swamiji by his long swept-back hair and ceremonial gold necklace, shown as a physical person present.
