A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on a golden throne with a rainbow-striped floral backdrop of red, yellow, purple and white marigolds and blossoms. He wears a long pink-and-white floral garland, a gold-and-beaded necklace and a rudraksha mala, with a kumkum bindi on his forehead and bangles on his wrist. Beside him, a second man in an orange turban and orange garment raises a green leaf over his head, performing a blessing. Silver trishula staffs flank the throne, with golden umbrellas at the edges and a golden lion-form armrest. Swamiji (probable) is identified by the long hair, saffron-orange clothing, rudraksha mala, ceremonial gold necklace and throne setting; the blessing is a ritual leaf blessing performed by an attendant priest.
