A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a white-and-red-and-blue flower garland and a rudraksha mala sits under a large white umbrella with red tassels and black-and-gold lotus-style motifs. He has long dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead, and his hands rest on his lap. Behind him are a standing man in a white kurta and another man in a black shirt, beneath a metal scaffold frame and blue sky. The setting appears to be an outdoor stage or ceremonial platform with a patterned green mat in the foreground. Swamiji (probable): the saffron robes, long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ceremonial garland are the qualifying appearance cues for the seated central figure, who is presented as the honoured guest of the event.
