A man in an orange saffron turban and orange robes sits with eyes closed and palms pressed together in namaste on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions. Layered garlands of white, pink, yellow and purple flowers hang over his shoulders and down to his bare feet, which rest on a red velvet footstool. Behind him stands a floral arch of orange gerbera, marigold, yellow and purple blooms with a red-and-yellow flower sunburst motif. A gold bangle is on his wrist and a rudraksha mala hangs at his chest. The scene suggests a darshan or satsang setting, with a copper-and-blue vessel and a tray of flowers at the side. Swamiji (probable) is the seated man in orange, identified by the orange turban and robes, rudraksha mala, ceremonial garlands and throne.
