A smiling man with long dark hair and a small red bindi sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion armrests and red velvet cushions on a stage. He wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, a long orange-and-gold bead garland, several bangles, and a small headset microphone. He holds a dark ceremonial staff or sceptre across his lap. Behind him stands a large painted deity murti with multiple arms holding a club, and a maroon velvet curtain hangs to the left. Swamiji (probable) is seated as the central figure, matching the page's claim of his coronation as pontiff; the saffron clothing, long hair and gold garland are the qualifying cues.
