A seated man in a rust-red turban with a jeweled ornament and long dark hair cascading behind him smiles with eyes closed, bare-chested under a rust-red and gold-bordered wrap. He wears a heavy gold necklace of beads and rudraksha malas, rudraksha armbands, a bangle and a red thread bracelet, and holds a golden fly-whisk-style staff in each hand. A tiger-striped cushion sits beneath him and a brass vessel is at the lower left. Behind him a large screen glows and a seated audience in white, purple and orange clothing fills the hall. Cues for Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, turban with jeweled ornament, ornate gold necklaces and rudraksha malas. He appears to be presiding over a satsang or discourse.
