A man stands outdoors under a large colourful umbrella with red, green and yellow tassels, while a second umbrella with a peacock motif is visible behind him. He wears a white turban with a red tilak, a white and gold shawl, and a multi-strand rudraksha mala with a large gold pendant. His long dark hair is swept back and he wears a floral garland with orange, green and white bands. He gazes upward with hands folded at his waist. Behind him, a woman in white holds a golden fabric strip and another carries a silver tray. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala, gold pendant and ceremonial garland are the qualifying cues, and he is the central figure in a procession setting.
