A bearded man with long dark hair laughs broadly while seated on an ornate silver-and-red throne with a carved sun-face motif. He wears a saffron-orange shawl draped over an orange top, has a white tilak with a red bindi on his forehead, and holds a thin wooden staff across his lap. A white tabletop fan stands at left, with a small framed image of a deity on a stand beside him. Red drapes and white curtains form the backdrop, and audience heads are visible at the bottom edge. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron shawl and ornate throne are visible cues for the presiding teacher seated in the centre.
