A man with very long dark matted locks stands on a red platform before an ornate gold throne with red cushions and a tiger-skin cloth draped over its seat, a gold lion carving at the right. He wears a rust-red robe over the shoulder, a long rudraksha mala draped across his chest, and a small red forehead mark, raising both palms and smiling. Another man in orange garments with a garland is partly visible at the left edge, and a hand in white garments is visible at the bottom right. Carved wooden panels and a gold kalasha-like finial frame the scene, with a palm-leaf or similar decoration behind. Swamiji (probable) is shown with long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and saffron-red robe, performing a welcoming gesture at a Kumbh Mela event.
