Behind him stand potted plants with orange flowers, a green draped table, and a large gold-framed deity murti draped in white and yellow cloth. A tall gold staff leans at left, and a dark rudraksha-like pile sits on a small wooden stool at right. Swamiji (probable): long hair, saffron-orange clothing and a gold necklace, seated on a throne in a temple-like hall.
