A seated figure on an ornate gold throne with red cushions and flower garlands holds a wooden staff and a rudraksha mala, wearing a saffron-orange robe with long swept-back dark hair. A saffron-robed assistant stands beside him touching a red-shirted boy in a red and black wheelchair, whose hands are pressed together in namaskar. Two men in white and light grey shirts stand with hands folded, and a man in white kneels on the red carpet at the wheelchair. Pink and gold drapes, red and yellow flower arrangements and a red carpet form the stage setting. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala while seated on the throne.
