A bearded man with long swept-back dark hair sits smiling with palms pressed together in namaskar on an ornate silver-and-white throne with a red velvet cushion. He wears a rust-orange sleeveless robe, a brown woven shawl, a long gold bead necklace and a large gold pendant, with white sandalwood paste and a red bindi on his forehead. Behind him hang red velvet curtains, a gold-coloured ceremonial staff stands at left, and a golden ritual object is visible at right. The scene suggests a satsang or ritual gathering at an ashram hall. Probable Swamiji seated on the throne, identified by long swept-back hair, saffron-orange robe, shawl and ceremonial gold necklaces.
