A seated man in a golden throne with a cobra-hooded canopy, wearing a maroon-red robe, rudraksha-style beaded mala, ornate gold pendant and a garland of white and pink flowers, sits centrally on a red cushioned seat. A metal trident stands to his left. Around the stage, people sit on a striped multicolored cloth: several women in orange and red saris and white dhotis, a bald man in white dhoti, and a bare-chested man, several with palms pressed together in namaste. Behind them, rows of red stadium seating and a golden arch. Swamiji (probable): the seated central figure shows long swept-back hair, a crown-like throne canopy, ceremonial gold necklace and rudraksha mala, but identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
