A seated man in a rust-red robe and many rudraksha malas sits with eyes closed on a silver chair before a gold-toned backdrop. He wears a leopard-print turban, a red bindi and white forehead markings, and a gold pendant necklace. Rudraksha bracelets are on his arms. A microphone stands at his mouth. In front of him is a dark wooden box with a paste or powder, a stone mortar, silver pots and vessels, and a brass trident and lamps stand to the left. The scene suggests a ritual preparation. Probable Swamiji is shown with long swept-back hair and a turban, rudraksha mala, ceremonial gold necklace and saffron-toned clothing.
