A man with long, swept-back dark hair and a mustache stands on an ornate stage, smiling and holding a tall wooden staff upright in his right hand. He wears a rust-red collarless kurta with a V-shaped lace-up front, a red-brown waist cloth knotted at the hip, a gold necklace, and a small red bindi on his forehead. Behind him hang a row of brass bells from ropes beneath a deep maroon velvet drape, with blue and gold carved architectural panels, gilded lion and figure carvings on pillars, and a string of small lights in the background. Swamiji (probable) is the central figure, identified by long hair, ornate gold necklace, and ceremonial red-brown robes.
