A seated man with long dreadlocks wrapped in a leopard-print turban and a small crown ornament, wearing a red forehead mark, layered rudraksha malas and saffron-orange cloth, places his right hand on the head of a kneeling devotee. The devotee, bare-chested with a white cloth draped over his shoulder, presses his palms together in reverence. He sits on a red velvet throne with gold-toned ornaments in the foreground. A woman in the background watches. Dark stage setting. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure with dreadlocks, turban, crown ornament and rudraksha malas is a candidate for the Swamiji identity, but this is an appearance-based label only.
