He sits with one hand resting on his bare foot while a bald man in white clothes with an orange shawl and glasses kneels nearby, and two young boys in orange robes sit in front, one holding a silver bowl. A background backdrop shows a temple-like cityscape. Appearance-based probable Swamiji (probable) in the central seated figure with long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ornate gold-trimmed throne cues, seated in a place of honour during a satsang setting.
