A seated man in a rust-red shawl over bare shoulders sits before an ornate gold-embossed throne with scrolled and floral carving, its arched back topped with rounded finials. He has long dark hair swept back, a full beard, a white tilak on his forehead, and a red thread band on his wrist, with his palms raised outward in a speaking gesture. Leopard-print fabric covers the throne's base, and a purple-lit stage backdrop shows a faint deity image on the right. Swamiji (probable) is visible as the seated central figure, identified by the flowing hair, crown-like throne setting, and red-orange clothing; he appears to be giving a discourse or blessing.
