A man in profile sits before a gilded ornate backdrop carved with a deity figure, wearing a saffron-orange garment with a long garland of white, pink and yellow flowers draped over his shoulders and chest. He has a white horizontal tilak on his forehead, a dark beard and moustache, and gold earrings. Brass oil lamps with hanging bells and chains stand in the foreground, and a row of small lights is strung in the background against a black drape. The setting suggests a puja or satsang. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ceremonial garland are visible cues, shown seated as the honoured presence.
