A man seated on an ornate silver-and-red throne holds a silver ceremonial staff in his right hand and smiles toward the camera. He wears a maroon-red saffron-style robe, long dark dreadlock-style hair, a white-and-red forehead marking, a rudraksha mala with clear beads, a gold chain, and a large white floral-patterned garland with gold-toned medallions. Behind him, a crowd of seated devotees in white and colourful saris and clothing fills the hall, with a large brass gong or bell visible on the right. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, rudraksha beads, ornate ceremonial jewellery and saffron-red clothing, appearance-based only.
