A smiling man in a red turban with a red bindi and a gold rope necklace sits in a brown leather chair, bare-chested with an orange-and-gold cloth draped over him, embracing a young boy in white clothes and a red scarf printed with Sanskrit text. The boy wears a Kumbh Mela lanyard and rudraksha beads and holds a folded note. Behind them are ornate silver and gold deity murti, a small brass lamp, and a red curtain, with a red electric fan at right. Probable Swamiji is the seated man, identified by the turban, saffron-and-gold garments and ornate gold necklace on a throne-like seat.
