A seated man with palms pressed together in anjali mudra, eyes closed, in prayer. He wears a red-and-white flower garland, gold necklaces, gold bangles and earrings, a dark maroon-and-orange cloth draped over his bare upper body, and a tilak on his forehead. Before him on a red-and-gold tray are a silver kalasha with a spout, a small silver vessel, a silver lamp stand, and red and white flowers, with incense smoke rising in the background. Only one physical person is visible. The appearance-based cues of long swept-back hair, gold ornaments and ceremonial dress are consistent with a probable Swamiji (probable) performing puja at an altar.
