A seated man with long dreadlocked hair and a beard sits on an ornate silver throne-like chair, wearing a rust-red sleeveless garment with a leopard-print waist cloth. He has white vertical tilak marks on his forehead and white ash streaks on his arms, a rudraksha mala draped over one shoulder, and a gold pendant necklace. Beside him a dark stone deity murti is adorned with white jasmine garlands and red flowers and wears a red and gold cloth. In the foreground are polished silver vessels and a small silver urn near a black stand with a red powder base. The scene suggests a ritual preparation setting. Swamiji (probable) is described by long hair, rudraksha mala, ornate gold pendant and a throne-like seat.
