A man seated on an ornate silver and red throne holds a silver staff topped with a finial in his raised right hand, his left arm extended outward, smiling. He wears a rust-red robe, a dense garland of red, orange and white flowers, a gold necklace and gold bangles, with a red tilak on his forehead. Behind him, a bare-chested man wears a white dhoti and rudraksha mala, and other seated people in white and saffron clothing fill the hall. A silver ritual stand and a keyboard are visible at the lower edge. The man on the throne has long swept-back hair and gold and rudraksha adornments, so he is a probable Swamiji candidate, though appearance alone is not conclusive.
