A seated man in a rust-red robe with a bare upper body wears a thick garland of red roses and white lilies and a heavy gold bead necklace with a gold pendant. He has a yellow and red tilak on his forehead and long swept-back dark hair. He lowers his gaze and holds his hands over a polished silver plate offered by a person whose wrist bears rudraksha beads. Behind him stands a large ornate gold repoussé backdrop. The scene resembles a ceremonial offering or blessing. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, rudraksha and gold ceremonial adornments, and a saffron-red robe seated before a gold throne backdrop.
