A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a matching orange turban sits cross-legged on a tiger-striped cloth draped over a low wooden seat, in front of a green draped backdrop framed by lush potted plants and leafy branches. Behind him stands a large golden sculpture of a multi-armed deity holding a trident-like staff, with a smaller golden figure beside it, set against a painted forest background with large tree branches. The seated man wears long rudraksha-style beaded strands over his shoulders and a saffron waist cloth, with one hand raised in a speaking gesture. Swamiji (probable): long beaded malas and saffron clothing with an orange turban, seated in the central role of teacher.
