A seated man in a white turban and long dark hair, wearing a silver-grey brocade kurta and cream trousers, smiles at a boy in a blue-and-white striped shirt and glasses who presses palms together in greeting. The man wears a white and red flower garland and a gold necklace, and sits on a red zebra-striped cushioned throne with ornate gold carved backrest and lion-form armrest, with a deity murti carving above. A bald man in white kneels at the lower left, and white and green flowers sit beside the throne. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, ornate silver-grey clothing and gold necklace on the seated figure, receiving a devotee's greeting on the throne.
