A bearded man with long dark hair sits on an ornate gold throne with a carved arched back, before a deep red curtain. He wears a rust-orange robe, a pink and white flower garland, and a red tilak on his forehead, and raises one hand in blessing. Golden female figure statues flank the throne, holding trays, and a silver trident stands to the left. Multicoloured striped mats cover the floor, with a golden vessel and orange cloth in the foreground. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, orange robe, flower garland and ceremonial throne are the qualifying cues for the teacher presiding over the event.
