A bearded man with long dark hair piled up under a rust-brown turban sits on a red velvet throne with an ornate gold back. He is bare-chested apart from a brown-orange shawl and wears a pink and white flower garland, a rudraksha-style bead mala, a gold armlet and gold earring, and he rests one hand on his knee. Beside him stands a dark stone deity murti garlanded with yellow and white flowers, with a gold kalasha-like ritual stand in front. Dense green foliage fills the background. The man on the throne is a candidate by appearance (long swept-back hair, turban, saffron-brown shawl, ceremonial garlands and beads) and the page names Swamiji at this event, so this is a probable Swamiji in a seated darshan setting.
