A smiling man in an orange-saffron robe with a yellow inner garment and a red bindi on his forehead raises his right hand in greeting while people nearby press palms together in namaste. He wears long swept-back dark hair, layered gold bead necklaces with a brown rudraksha-style mala, gold bangles and a small gold earring. Behind him a red curtain and a golden throne-like seat stand in a hall where a crowd of devotees, some in white, watch. A man on the left wears a white shirt and an orange shawl. The distinctive saffron robe, long hair and ornate gold beads are appearance cues consistent with Swamiji (probable), shown in person greeting devotees at a satsang hall.
