A man with long dark hair swept back and a dark beard sits in profile on an ornate gold-and-red throne, a peetha, on a red-carpeted stage. He wears a rust-orange shawl over the shoulders and bare-chested with a wrapped orange-brown cloth, and gestures with his right hand. Golden staffs with finials flank the throne. An audience of devotees sits in the foreground, mostly in saffron, yellow and white clothing, and a red velvet curtain and yellow drape form the backdrop. A keyboard sits on a gold side table at right. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), seated on the throne with long swept-back hair, orange shawl and bare-chested saffron cloth.
