A smiling man in an orange-saffron turban and sleeveless saffron tunic sits on a red cushioned seat, raising his right hand in a blessing gesture while holding a silver ceremonial staff topped with a shivalinga-like finial set with a red stone. A thin rope-twisted silver pole stands at left and a golden bird figure is at lower right. He wears a gold chain necklace and a red thread on his wrist, with a vertical tilak on his forehead. The blue and pink painted mountain backdrop suggests a stage setting. Swamiji (probable): he is a bearded man with a saffron turban, saffron robes, gold necklace and ceremonial staff, seated as the central figure of the event.
