A seated man in a maroon-red sleeveless garment with gold ornate necklaces, a brooch of flowers and red stones on the shoulder, and gold beaded armlets, smiles while turning his head to the side. He has long dark hair swept back, a red tilak on his forehead, and a small gold earring. He sits on an ornate silver-embossed throne with a red velvet cushion, beside a tall silver ceremonial staff with a finial. Blurred seated devotees in white clothing fill the background of a hall. Cues on the man—long hair, gold necklaces and ornate ceremonial clothing—are consistent with Swamiji (probable), seated in a place of honour as the event's teacher.
