A central figure with long dark hair and a white head wrap stands on a golden throne-like platform, wearing a multicoloured patterned tunic and white shawl, with a garland of white and orange flowers draped around the neck. A golden ornate umbrella hangs above the throne. Around him, several people in saffron-orange robes applaud with hands raised, while devotees in white dhotis and yellow shawls stand beside them, some holding flowers. A red patterned carpet covers the floor in front of the stage with a dark blue backdrop behind. The appearance-based label is Swamiji (probable), based on the long hair, white head wrap and ornate clothing with garland, seated on a throne.
