A bearded man in an orange-saffron robe and a long rudraksha mala sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne, raising both hands above his head in a blessing gesture with a red thread on his wrist and a tilak on his forehead. A tall silver trident stands at the left edge. Around him, people in white dhotis and off-white garments sit in rows, some in orange shawls, with a small tray holding a lamp on a blue cloth in front. Red banners with white and gold lettering hang on the wall behind. The appearance-based label is probable; the figure has long swept-back hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala, matching the page's Swamiji claim. Identity is an appearance-based judgement only.
