A man with long dark hair, a white tilak with a central red mark on his forehead, and a short beard sits upright on an ornate silver-white throne with a red velvet seat and back panel. He wears a reddish-maroon shawl draped over one shoulder, leaving the other arm bare, with a white ceremonial armband and a small gold pendant at the neck. Behind him hang deep red curtains. Seated figures in saffron and maroon clothing and a man in glasses appear at the edges of the frame. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, ornate throne and ceremonial gold necklace identify him as the presiding figure at the Navaratri darbar.
