A seated man in a rust-orange and maroon robe and matching orange turban sits on an ornate gold throne carved with lion heads, a tiger-striped cushion beneath him. Swamiji (probable): he wears layered red and pink flower garlands, a gold-toned ceremonial necklace, bangles and an armlet, with long swept-back hair. Behind and to the left, a man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala kneels at a silver tray of flowers and offerings. Hanging brass oil lamps and bells frame the throne, and a framed portrait sits on a stand at left beside a video camera tripod. Dark backdrop; devotees' heads are visible in the lower foreground.
