He wears long gold ceremonial chains with bell-shaped gold beads, and a red-and-yellow flower garland. He holds a pink-and-white striped staff with a white tuft and a red-and-yellow flower garland, and smiles while touching the bare back of a young boy in a white dhoti. The boy wears rudraksha beads and stands in front of him. A woman in white with a rudraksha mala is partly visible at left, and a person's arm appears at the right edge. Visible cues for the seated man include long swept-back hair, gold ceremonial necklaces, saffron-brown clothing and a vibhuti mark, so he is an appearance-based probable Swamiji candidate seated on the throne.2017-08-02
