A man sits on an ornate golden throne with lion-carved armrests on a raised stage at night, hands folded in greeting namaste and smiling. He wears an orange-saffron shawl over ornate attire, a gold crown with a fan-like backpiece, a red-and-white garland with green and red elements, and a red bindi. A golden lion and a second empty throne are visible to the right. Behind him a large banner shows a portrait of a man in an orange turban and red tilak, with Tamil text and the number 293. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne with cues including orange-saffron shawl, ornate gold crown and garlands, so the appearance-based label applies; the figure is physically present on stage.
