A seated man in a rust-orange turban and matching orange-brown dhoti-style wrap sits on a tiger-skin-draped seat beside a gilded brass Nandi bull. He wears a long gold-and-beaded necklace with a gold pendant, bangles and armlets, and holds a tall gold trident. A large screen behind him shows a crowd, and a seated audience in white, orange and green fills the hall. A white pedestal fan stands in the foreground. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure wears a turban, ornate gold ceremonial necklace and trident-style regalia, matching the probable-presence cues. Audience members sit on the floor, many in white garments, some wearing rudraksha-style beads.
