A smiling man in rust-red robes and a leopard-print head wrap sits on an ornate silver-backed chair, bare-shouldered and wearing layered rudraksha malas on his neck and arms, a gold pendant and a silver fleur-de-lis pendant. He rests one hand over a silver tray with a glowing flame and holds a long black smoking pipe-like tube in the other hand. Smoke fills the air in front of a red building. The scene is an outdoor ritual with smoke and fire. Swamiji (probable) is the figure in the robes with long swept-back hair and rudraksha malas, seated with the smoke and fire offering.
