A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a long rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold throne under a golden canopy, hands folded in lap, centred before a large backdrop printed with a stone temple gateway and deity sculptures. Seven or so people sit on the stage floor in front: a young man in white shawl with ash markings, women in blue, yellow-bordered white saris and seated men in white, several with cameras and tripods and a monitor in the foreground. Brass oil lamps stand on both sides of the throne and offerings are arranged before the sitters. The figure on the throne has long hair and a rudraksha mala, matching the Swamiji (probable) cues of saffron clothing and rudraksha beads, so this is an appearance-based candidate only.
