A seated man in a rust-red turban, rust-red robes, a pink-and-white garland, a rudraksha mala and layered gold necklaces sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne on a stage, gesturing with one hand while speaking into a microphone stand. Beside him, a painted or sculpted figure with dark hair, a crown-like headpiece, a garland and gold jewellery sits on a gold throne, raising one hand. A brass trident and a brass oil lamp stand at the right edge, with marigold garlands and small lamps along a wooden lattice backdrop. Probable Swamiji is the seated man, identified by the turban, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklaces; the figure beside him is a statue or depiction, not a physical person.
