A seated man sits cross-legged on a red-draped dais before an ornate gold throne-backing with carved lions. He wears a tiger-striped shawl over bare shoulders, an orange-brown dhoti with gold border, and a long rudraksha mala with beads and white skull-like pendants; a red bindi marks his forehead, and gold bangles and anklets adorn his limbs. His right hand rests on his knee while the left gestures to the side. To the right, a deity murti with raised hands and a trident-like staff stand beside him, and offerings sit on the dais. Setting suggests a satsang discourse. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, ceremonial beads and tiger-striped shawl, with the page indicating his presence at this satsang.
