A bearded man with a brown and maroon turban decorated with a crescent moon and tilak marks sits on an ornate gold and red throne, raising one hand in blessing. He wears layered gold necklaces, a rudraksha mala, a pink and white flower garland, gold armbands and bangles, and a brown-orange shawl. Beside the throne stand white and gold ceremonial staffs topped with a trident and finial, and colourful flower garlands decorate the right side. Audience members sit in the foreground and on stone steps behind him. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, with his appearance matching the page's claim through the turban, rudraksha, gold necklaces and orange-brown clothing.
