A tiered brass oil lamp stand with many lit wicks dominates the foreground, blurred by shallow focus. Behind it, a framed portrait of a bearded man wearing an orange-saffron turban and orange-tinted robe sits within an ornate gold frame on a golden altar. Strings of bokeh lights glow in the background. No people are visible in the frame. The portrait is a depiction, and its appearance matches the page's Swamiji reference only as a probable candidate through the saffron turban and robe.
