He sits with hands folded in his lap in front of a decorated stage backdrop with orange and green pillar drapes and floral arrangements. Beside him at left, a shaved-headed priest in white dhoti with gold border raises a hand holding a lamp, and two seated devotees in saffron and white sarees sit at right. Gold ritual vessels and a small brass lamp sit on golden pedestals. The Swamiji depiction is an appearance-based probable candidate given the green turban, gold bead necklace and throne, presented as a seated discourse speaker.
