A seated man on a gilded throne with a red cushioned back is centre stage, wearing a dark red-brown turban, a matching rust-brown shawl over his shoulders and bare feet, with a golden beaded necklace and gold bangles. Two attendants stand at left: one in orange robes and long braided hair, another with a bare-chested frame, rudraksha mala and white dhoti, while a shirtless man in a white dhoti kneels or bends before the throne. A brass trident stands behind the group and metal pots sit at the base of the dais. The backdrop shows a painted temple corridor with ornate gold-and-colour pillars, and a white cooling unit is at right.

A photo of a seated man on an ornate gold-and-red throne on a stage, wearing a red-brown saffron-toned turban, rudraksha-style red-brown robe draped over the shoulders, a gold necklace with a ceremonial pendant and a long garland, gold armlets, and bare feet. Behind him a large projected backdrop shows a temple corridor with pillars. To his left, shirtless men in white dhotis and a young boy attend to him, one holding a sheet of paper; a brass pot sits on the stage floor. A man in an orange shawl stands at the left edge. The seated man matches a Swamiji (probable) appearance through his distinctive saffron turban, ornate gold jewellery and garlands and the throne setting.2017-05-10April 03 20172017-04-03A seated man on an ornate gold throne with a red velvet back and a red-cushioned footstool, wearing a dark red turban, a rust-orange saffron-toned dhoti-style garment draped over his shoulder, a rudraksha-style mala and a gold ceremonial necklace, with bare feet.
