A man seated on an ornate gilded throne with a deep red cushioned back, wearing a cream turban with a red tilak on his forehead, a long maroon silk kurta with gold trim and a gold-bordered shawl, and white dhoti. He holds a rudraksha mala in one hand and smiles while a woman kneeling before him, in a white sari with red and orange border, raises her hand toward his hand in a gesture of greeting. Yellow and purple flower garlands hang behind the throne, orange cloth lies on the platform, and a smiling attendant in white and orange stands at the right edge. White cloth covers the stage floor. The seated man is an appearance-based probable candidate for Swamiji, based on the long swept hair, turban, maroon ceremonial robe and rudraksha mala, and he is present in person.
