A seated figure with long dark hair, a red bindi and an orange-red shawl over saffron-brown robes reaches to place a hand on the crown of a bald man in a white shirt, who has an orange-red shawl draped over his shoulders. The seated figure smiles. Behind them, a gold ornate backdrop and deep red velvet drapes frame the scene. On the right, a man in white clothing with a rudraksha mala and a red-and-gold shawl stands with hands clasped. A partly visible person appears at the lower left edge. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure, identified from long swept-back hair, saffron-orange ornate clothing and a ceremonial setting; this is an appearance-based label only.
