A seated man in a red-orange turban with a white plume and a rudraksha-style ceremonial gold pendant over a saffron-orange shawl sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions in front of red draped backdrop. He rests one hand in a white ceremonial bowl with a gold-patterned rim, apparently during a ritual bathing or pooja. A tall orange-and-gold ceremonial parasol and a beaded necklace are visible. Swamiji (probable): the appearance cues of the turban, plume, saffron clothing and gold ornaments with a throne suggest the central figure, performing the ritual as the officiating guru. Other items include a steel water bottle and an orange bag at the right edge.
