Behind them stands a golden ceremonial staff topped with a trident-like finial, and beside the gold-carved throne armrest a woman in a yellow-and-white sari and a woman in a purple sari with green and yellow border stand with palms pressed together in greeting. A probable Swamiji appearance is shown by the turban, rudraksha mala and saffron clothing of the seated figure, who is seated on a red-cushioned throne.
