A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a red turban, rudraksha malas and beaded necklaces sits smiling on a tiger-skin mat in front of a green draped platform. Behind him a gilded statue of a deity with a trident and a seated companion rises among potted plants, leafy greenery, stones and a painted backdrop of forest trees. Swamiji (probable): the saffron clothing, red turban and layered rudraksha malas match the page's Swamiji claim, so the seated figure is labelled as a probable in-person presence. The tiger skin, gilded statues and jungle set suggest a staged dais.
