A man in saffron and gold-bordered dhoti and a red-orange shawl sits on a stage playing a veena-style stringed instrument held across his body. He raises a wooden stick in his right hand and smiles, wearing a red bindi, a rudraksha-style bead mala and a heavy gold ceremonial necklace. Behind him is an ornate gold throne-like arch decorated with a garland of white, orange, red, green and purple flowers, a brass oil lamp stands at right, and a large painted backdrop of tree trunks fills the background. A keyboard is visible at lower left. Swamiji (probable) appears to be the performer, based on his long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ceremonial gold necklace.
