A man seated on a golden throne draped with a tiger-skin cloth sits in profile facing left, holding a thin golden rod in his right hand. He wears a rust-red turban, a rust-orange cloth wrap over bare shoulders, long black hair, a beaded gold-and-rudraksha style necklace and red-orange bangles. A tall gold trident staff stands beside him. Around him a large crowd fills a hall with white chairs and white draped walls; women in orange, red and blue saris and white-clad devotees are visible, and a large screen at left shows a projected image. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, a turban, saffron-orange wrap and ornate beaded necklace, consistent with a candidate in a ceremonial seat.
