A seated man on a gilded throne with red tiger-striped cushions, wearing a saffron-orange shawl and garment, a long beaded rudraksha-style mala necklace, and a white forehead mark, raises one hand in blessing. A woman in a white salwar kameez sits in a black wheelchair leaning forward toward his feet, which rest on a red cushioned platform. Behind them an older woman in a white sari with a shawl stands near a golden lion-head armrest, and gilded pillars and a wooden lattice screen frame the room. Probable Swamiji: his saffron-orange clothing, long swept-back hair, and ornate mala necklace are the qualifying cues, and he is seated on the throne with the woman at his feet.
