A bearded man with long swept-back black hair, a red tilak on his forehead and rudraksha malas over a rust-red shawl stands eyes closed and smiling on a stage. He wears white and pink flower garlands and a gold chain. Behind him a large ornate gold peetha-style backdrop with floral carving rises, and a bare-chested attendant in the foreground, blurred, leans toward him. A gold ceremonial object is visible at upper left, and a red-orange lit screen fills the background. Swamiji (probable) based on the long hair, saffron-toned shawl, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold ornaments, seated in a ceremonial honouring setting.
