A man in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged on a gold-trimmed throne, a peetha, decorated with a thick garland of yellow, red, purple and white flowers. He wears an orange turban with a red mark at the centre, a long gold necklace of beads, gold armlets and bangles, and a small microphone at his cheek. Behind him a gold ornate arch with a kalasha-like finial and a red-tiled roof rise above the floral backdrop. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, ceremonial gold necklace and turban cues place him as the honoured seated figure. Gold lion-form armrest supports flank the seat.
