A smiling man with long dark hair tied back and a white vibhuti mark on his forehead stands beside a red and gold cushioned throne under an open-sided tin-roofed pavilion with palm trees behind. He wears a maroon-brown silk dhoti and shawl with gold borders, a beaded rudraksha-style mala and a heavy gold ceremonial necklace, and his right hand gestures outward. Behind him, several devotees in maroon and orange robes stand with folded hands and rudraksha malas, and a bald man in orange cloth is visible at the right edge. Swamiji (probable) is the man in the foreground, identified by his long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace, rudraksha mala and golden-bordered maroon silk. The scene suggests a satsang or padapuja gathering.
