A seated man in a deep red-orange turban wrapped high on his head, with a sandalwood and vermilion mark on his forehead, wears a red-and-gold shawl over bare shoulders. He has a rudraksha-style bead mala draped across his chest and a large gold pendant, plus heavy gold armlets with ornate lion-like designs. Behind him, several women in white saris with red borders and white head bands sit in the crowd. Swamiji (probable) is the seated man in the turban and gold armlets, judged by his distinctive turban, gold ornaments and rudraksha mala.
