A bearded man with long dark hair sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne with carved lion-head armrests, raising his right hand in a blessing wave. He wears rust-red ochre robes, a leopard-print waist cloth, a gold ceremonial pendant and necklaces of rudraksha beads, and a red sacred thread on his wrist, with a red-and-white tilak on his forehead. He holds a white ceremonial staff with a silver top. Behind him, a red curtain and a few seated devotees in saffron and orange garments fill a hall; a silver pot stands beside the throne. Swamiji (probable) is seated centre on the throne, with distinctive long hair, rudraksha malas, gold ornaments and saffron-ochre clothing; the surrounding seated people are devotees.
