A bearded man with a dark topknot wrapped in a rust-red turban with a jeweled brooch stands at right, bare-shouldered in a rust-red wrap with a long gold necklace of rudraksha beads and a gold pendant, and a red-beaded bracelet. He extends his arm toward a large brass vessel with curved horn-like handles on the left, holding a small stick over it, while smiling. Behind him is a bright red-curtained hall with a blurred seated audience and a large screen at the right edge. Swamiji (probable) is identified by the long swept-back hair, rust-red turban, ornate gold necklace and rudraksha malas, with the role of a presenter performing a ritual gesture over a brass kalasha beside him.
