A figure in an orange turban and orange garment with a long rudraksha mala sits on an ornate silver throne decorated with yellow marigold garlands. He reaches forward to take a small orange cup or container from a shaved-headed attendant in white and gold robes at the lower left, who holds a water bottle. Behind them a yellow and blue banner with tassels hangs beside a stone wall, and a silver lantern-like object sits at the left edge. The seated figure has distinctive long hair, saffron clothing and a mala, consistent with the Swamiji (probable) cues in this context, and is seated on a throne during a procession.
