Central figure is a large printed portrait-style image of a smiling man in an orange-red turban and red-orange robe, wearing a heavy gold necklace and bracelets, seated with hands in a mudra behind a red yantra plate; the figure is a depiction, identified only by appearance cues as a probable Swamiji. Behind him a smaller framed photo of another man in a red turban and garland.
