A man with long swept-back dark hair and a short beard sits barefoot on an ornate silver-and-gold throne with a red velvet seat and carved backrest, on a red-draped stage. He wears a saffron-orange robe draped over his shoulders and bare arms, with a red bracelet on one wrist, hands folded in his lap. Two tall ceremonial staffs with glass finials flank the throne, and a carved silver side table with a book sits to the right. Behind him, a crowd of seated devotees in orange, saffron and white clothing fills the hall beneath red and yellow drapes. Probable Swamiji seated in a ceremonial throne, identified by long hair, saffron robe and ornate regalia.
