A seated man in an orange-and-peach embroidered kurta with an orange shawl sits on an ornate gilded throne with red cushions and lion-head arms, draped in white jasmine garlands. Above him hangs a golden canopy trimmed with yellow and purple flower strands, and a gilded deity murti stands in the backrest. Behind the stage hang a painted trident-shaped emblem, a bird motif and a painted vessel. Brass oil lamps stand on either side of the dais and vases of pink and white flowers decorate it, with green stage lighting. The seated figure has long dark hair and his bare feet rest on a red footstool. Appearance-based candidate: Swamiji (probable), seated in the central throne with the ceremonial dress and crown-like canopy cues.
