A seated figure with long, swept-back dark hair wearing an orange-saffron shawl draped over the body, hands pressed together in a namaste gesture, smiling with eyes lowered. Behind him is a white draped backdrop and a dark blue banner decorated with gold diamond-pattern trim and round gold sequin medallions, with colourful green, red and yellow fabric along the top edge. Blurred heads of onlookers appear in the lower foreground. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), seated in the role of a speaker or honoured teacher, with long hair and saffron clothing as cues.
