A seated man in a red-orange robe sits cross-legged on an orange cushion placed on a woven mat over a floor decorated with white kolam and red dots. He wears a long gold ceremonial necklace and a red tilak on his forehead, with long swept-back hair, and raises his right hand in a blessing gesture. A brass kalasha stands beside him. Behind him are grey stone sculptures of deities and figures, red placards, palm trees and an orange wall. A garland of yellow and red flowers hangs on a dais at the right edge. The man's appearance, with long hair, ornate gold necklace and saffron robe, is consistent with Swamiji (probable), seated and giving a blessing in an outdoor temple-garden setting.
