A man seated on a red throne with gold-carved armrests, hands pressed together in namaste with eyes closed. He wears a brown ceremonial garment, gold armlets, bangles, a long red-and-white flower garland and a gold necklace, with a red bindi on his forehead and long dark hair swept up in a bun. Behind him is an arch of yellow, orange, red and white marigold and rose flowers with green leaves, and gilded panels fill the background. Appearance-based cues of long swept-back hair, ornate gold jewellery and ceremonial saffron-brown clothing match the Swamiji (probable) candidate, seated in a presiding role at a Guru Purnima celebration.
