A seated man in a reddish-orange sannyasi wrap sits on an ornate silver throne with a red cushioned seat, holding a tall silver staff topped with a finial in his right hand and resting his left hand on his knee. He has long dark hair swept back, a beard, a thin gold chain, and a red thread on his wrist. Beside him a silver lectern stands on the left, and a silver swan-shaped ornament lies at the base of the throne. Seated devotees in saffron and orange shawls, white kurtas and red garments fill the foreground and rows behind on a stage backdrop of red, yellow and gold drapes. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identifiable by the long swept-back hair, saffron-orange wrap and ceremonial silver staff. A second silver staff stands at the right edge.
