A man in a red silk kurta with gold embroidered trim and a tan silk shawl stands beside an ornate gilded throne with a red velvet seat and a carved lion-form armrest. A gilded umbrella with leaf-shaped pendants is mounted above the throne. He has long dark hair, a red mark on his forehead, and raises one hand to his chin while looking upward and smiling. Red and white flowers lie on the stage platform. The backdrop is dark blue drapery. The figure is an appearance-based probable Swamiji (long swept-back hair, ornate ceremonial clothing, throne setting), so this is an in-person candidate in a photograph.
