A stage set with gold ornate thrones draped in marigold garlands under a dark blue curtain. On the central golden throne beneath a gold canopy sits a figure in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala, seated on a cushion with a trident-shaped staff beside him, appearing to address an audience. Probable Swamiji: long swept-back hair, saffron robes and rudraksha beads on the central throne. A deity murti adorned with a flower garland sits on a throne at right, and another garlanded throne with a figure stands at left. Several seated saffron-robed monks are visible in the foreground, with a few heads and shoulders partly visible at the bottom edge.
