A man seated on a golden ornate throne with a red cushion and a tiger-skin cloth sits on a swing decorated with yellow and pink garlands on a stage. He wears an orange-brown turban, a brown-orange robe, beard and gold ornaments, and holds a pink garland. A woman in a pink saree bows with palms together toward him, while a woman in a green-and-black outfit kneels before the swing, and several devotees in white dhotis prostrate or stand with folded hands on a colourful woven carpet. A purple sunset backdrop fills the stage. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears an orange turban, orange-brown robes, a beard and ceremonial gold necklaces while being honoured on the throne, so this is an appearance-based candidate.
