A seated man in a dark turban with rudraksha beads wrapped around it, wearing a deep red-orange wrap and multiple tiers of rudraksha mala necklaces, with rudraksha armbands on his upper arm and wrist. He sits on an ornate silver throne-like chair, bowing his head over a small fire pit where flames rise from a clay-lined homa vessel. Silver vessels and an oil lamp sit nearby, with a yellow and red floral garland hanging at the top of the frame. Visible ritual setting suggests a fire ritual; the man is a candidate for the Swamiji (probable) based on the turban, rudraksha malas and saffron-red clothing cues.
