A bearded man with long swept-back hair and a white tripundra forehead mark sits smiling on an ornate silver-and-red daybed-style throne with a gold-carved backdrop. He wears an orange-red saffron cloth over one shoulder and wrapped around his body, with a long rudraksha mala and bangles on his arms. Red and white flower garlands drape the canopy and a tall flower garland hangs at the side, and a leopard-print cushion lies on a red mat at his feet. Ceremonial trident-topped staffs and brass oil lamps stand beside the throne. The description matches the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues of long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala, seated as the central figure of the ritual setting.
