A bare-chested man with swept-back dark hair, white vibhuti lines and a red bindi sits in front of a large red and gold ornate throne. He wears a saffron-orange cloth draped over his shoulders and a thick pink and red flower garland with gold beads around his neck, plus a beaded orange armlet. Smoke drifts across the frame, and other figures in orange clothing stand at the edges. The man's long hair, crown-like adornment absent, and ceremonial gold necklace with a rudraksha-style mala support a probable identification as Swamiji (probable) seated in ceremony. The copyright and source lines in the lower right are not described.
