Behind him are large ornate gold-and-red circular umbrella-style canopies, one bearing a gold sun-face motif with a tilak, and a red-and-green umbrella. Hands and gold bangles of attendants are visible at the edges. Probable Swamiji cues: a rust-orange turban, saffron clothing and ornate gold necklaces in a ceremonial setting.
