A smiling man with long dark hair wears a saffron-orange sleeveless garment and a rudraksha mala of dark beads, standing beside a large decorated deity murti. The murti wears a crown with sparkling silver ornaments, a silver-embroidered maroon garment, and is draped with yellow and green garlands. The man holds a golden staff-like object with both hands, appearing to offer or adjust it. Behind them are colourful painted pillars with floral and elephant motifs. The deity figure appears to be a decorated festival murti, and the scene suggests a temple or devotional setting. Swamiji (probable) is identified by long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads.
