The figure wears a rust-red turban with a red tilak on the forehead, a heavy gold necklace and gold armlets, and an orange-and-gold shawl over bare shoulders. To the right, a silver kalasha-style vessel stands beside a garland of white flowers with red rose accents. Behind, seated devotees in white and orange clothing sit with hands folded, some wearing glasses, against a dark night background with distant lights. Swamiji (probable) is visible, seated in the foreground with a turban, gold jewellery and a shawl.
