A man seated on an ornate gold throne decorated with a thick garland of yellow, red, pink and purple flowers and green leaves. He wears a cream-coloured turban with a red tilak on his forehead, a white dhoti-style garment draped over one shoulder, a gold armlet and layered gold necklaces with bead ornaments and a gold pendant. His hands are folded in his lap and he smiles. Behind him, a large orange banner shows a golden-robed figure, and a red and gold backdrop displays partial lettering. The throne is set against a festive stage backdrop, and the scene reads as a ceremonial seat of honour for a guru-like figure. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears a cream turban, white draped garments, layered gold ornaments and a red tilak, which are distinctive ceremonial cues, so the candidate is physically present.
