A man with long dark hair sits smiling on a red-orange cushioned throne against an ornate white and pink patterned wall decorated with flower garlands and marigolds. He wears a white dhoti-style garment with a gold border and a multicoloured flower garland, and has rudraksha-style beads at his feet. Two women sit beside the throne on a white-covered platform scattered with flower petals: one in an orange shawl holds a mala, the other in white with a long braid faces away. Swamiji (probable) is identified by long swept-back hair, a flower garland and ceremonial white and gold clothing seated on a throne, consistent with a discourse setting.
