A smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair sits on a blue-edged boat or platform covered with a patterned cloth and scattered marigold petals beside a riverbank. He wears orange-saffron robes draped over one shoulder, a belt of wooden rudraksha beads, and a long necklace of white pearl-like beads with rudraksha strands. He has gold earrings, a gold pendant necklace, gold-and-rudraksha armlets and wrists, white vibhuti horizontal markings on his forehead and a red kumkum dot. Behind him are weathered stone ghat steps, a sand bank, marigold garlands and a distant figure in red. Probable Swamiji (probable) in saffron robes with long hair, rudraksha malas and gold ornaments, seated in an honoured position.
