Long swept-back dark hair, a red tilak on the forehead, and a gold trident held upright beside him. A red fringed umbrella is held over him. Behind him a man in an orange garment holds the trident, and seated devotees in white clothes sit on a red patterned carpet. One devotee holds a brass kalasha with yellow flowers and leaves. The hall is decorated with colourful balloons, orange flags and painted pillars, and a banner with printed text hangs on the wall. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure wears saffron robes, rudraksha malas, long hair and a tilak, and is seated in a place of honour under an umbrella with the trident.
