Outdoor scene beside a shallow forest stream with dark rocks and green foliage. A person in a dark-red turban with white floral adornment and a red-orange garment sits on a silver-trimmed palanquin or seat under a red-and-gold umbrella, wearing long white flower garlands, a multi-strand rudraksha mala, gold armlets and a gold pendant, and holding a small round fruit. The appearance of this seated figure, with long hair and ornate saffron clothing, is a probable match for Swamiji (probable) in a seated role, shown in person. Beside the seat, a fair-haired woman in white and a red-orange shawl with red beads laughs and looks up at the seated figure. Behind them, a man in a white kurta and dhoti photographs with a camera, and another man in white and gold holds the umbrella pole.
