A smiling man with long swept-back dark hair, a full beard and moustache, and a white horizontal tilak with a dark central dot on his forehead stands with palms joined in namaste. He wears a rust-red unstitched robe over bare shoulders, a white jasmine garland, and tiered rudraksha malas across his chest. Behind him, a red-and-gold ceremonial parasol with tasselled fringe is held aloft on a gold pole by attendants wearing rudraksha malas and tilak. An elderly man in white shirt and glasses, also with palms joined, bows at the right edge. Orange and red flags and a colourful umbrella appear in the background. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, rust-red robe, rudraksha malas and garland are the qualifying cues, with the subject seated in a procession setting rather than a throne.
