A smiling man sits centered on a swing decorated with red, pink and white flower garlands, his palms raised beside his face in a playful gesture. He wears a large golden crown-like headdress, a rust-orange robe, layered gold necklaces and gold bangles, with a sandalwood tilak on his forehead. Behind him stands a painted statue of a muscular deity in orange dhoti. Wooden carved doors and a red draped curtain frame the stage, with gold ritual vessels at the right edge. Swamiji (probable) by appearance cues: ornate golden crown, saffron-orange ceremonial clothing and gold necklaces, seated in an honoured position on a decorated swing.
