A seated man with long swept-back dark hair, a white tilak on his forehead, and a rust-red saffron shawl over his bare shoulder wears a heavy gold bead necklace. He leans back on a red tiger-striped cushioned seat, one arm extended toward a young man in a white t-shirt and orange-red cloth who raises his palm toward him. Behind them stand a silver staff with a serpent coiled around it, a gold swan-like ornament, and red drapes. A peacock-feather fan and a gold vessel with a lamp glow sit in the foreground. Swamiji (probable) is shown in the central role on the seat, with his distinctive long hair, saffron shawl and gold necklace as cues.
