A seated man in an orange turban and matching orange robes sits with eyes closed and hands folded in his lap, meditating in front of an ornate gold throne-back. He wears a red dot on his forehead, a gold chain with a pendant, and a gold serpent armlet. Heavy garlands of red roses, yellow marigolds and green leaves drape his shoulders and lap, with a bunch of small yellow fruits at his waist. Behind him are more marigold and purple flower garlands. The man is a probable Swamiji candidate: orange turban, saffron clothing and ceremonial gold ornaments, seated in a festival setting such as a Dasara celebration at a satsang event.
