A seated man sits on an ornate gold throne (peetha) with lion-shaped armrests, centred in front of a floral backdrop of marigolds and garlands in yellow, purple, white and red. He wears a white dhoti with a gold-bordered shawl, a long beaded garland of gold-coloured beads, and has long hair. Gold-patterned panels, silver ceremonial lamps on stands, a trident (trishul) and rooster-topped ornaments frame the stage. A microphone stands at the right and a brass tray with offerings sits in front of the throne. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, the ceremonial gold necklace and the saffron-and-gold ceremonial dress are the qualifying cues, with the throne presentation.
