A smiling man with long dark hair, a sandalwood or vibhuti mark on his forehead, and a gold necklace sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne with a silver peetha. He wears a rust-red robe draped over one shoulder, gold bangles with red beads, and a corsage of red-and-gold flowers on his chest. Beside him a tall silver staff topped with a finial stands in the foreground, and a gold-coloured staff is at the left edge. Seated audience members with blurred faces fill the background in a hall with a red wall. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces, and saffron-red robe with ceremonial adornments match the appearance-based cues for the central figure, seated on the throne as the event's honoured teacher.
