A seated man in a maroon-orange garment with gold border and a leopard-print turban topped with a silver crescent moon performs namaskar with palms pressed together and eyes closed. He wears a heavy gold pendant necklace, beaded bracelets and a red-brown beaded waist belt. Smoke or incense haze fills the air. He sits on a silver-edged seat on a striped multicolored cloth. At right stand silver ritual objects, a silver figure of a bull and floral garlands. A microphone stand sits in front of him. At lower left a bowl and white candles sit on the cloth. Probable Swamiji is shown with these cues: long dreadlocked hair, a turban and saffron-ochre ornate clothing with gold ornaments, seated in a ceremonial setting.
