The seated person wears a rust-red turban, a rust-red shawl over a dark-red garment, a heavy gold necklace with a large pendant, bangles, and holds a hand to the forehead. Behind them hang dense garlands of red, pink, yellow and white flowers. A golden lion-shaped armrest and a microphone stand are visible. The attendant holds a small brass vessel. The scene suggests a ceremonial blessing or abhishekam-style rite in a hall.2015-11-16July 03 20122012-07-03A seated figure on an ornate gilded golden throne flanked by two golden lion sculptures, set before a tall backdrop of marigold and red-white-green flower garlands arranged in arched bands. The person wears a deep red-maroon robe with gold trim, a red turban, a heavy gold necklace, a red and white flower garland, and gold bangles, and holds one hand near the chest. Swamiji (probable): the visible cues are a red turban, ornate gold jewellery and a ceremonial throne setting, so this appearance-based candidate is physically present. Flanking the throne are painted deity murti statues with crowns and a brass oil lamp on a stand in the left foreground.
