Inside a white tent, a smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair and a vertical white tilak on his forehead sits wearing an orange-brown robe and a long, multi-strand rudraksha mala draped over his shoulders, with the lower part of his body hidden by a bench-like seat. He appears to be the central figure in a gathering. Around him, seated devotees include a woman in a dark top at lower left, a woman with dark hair at lower centre-right, and an older grey-haired man in a white garment with a red-and-black patterned shawl at right. A fourth person in dark red robes with a mala appears at the far right edge. Brass-railed seating is visible. Swamiji (probable) is shown in person, based on his long hair, saffron-toned robe and rudraksha mala.
