A seated man in an orange-saffron robe with long, swept-back dark hair sits on an ornate gilded throne draped with garlands of white jasmine, red and magenta flowers, yellow marigolds and orange blooms. Above him hangs a gilded canopy trimmed with floral swags, and a long golden staff rests against the throne. Seated devotees in white and orange shawls fill the corrugated-roof hall in front of him, and a standing woman in white and green stands behind them. Orange pennants hang across the ceiling, and a brass vessel sits at the lower right. Probable Swamiji: the seated man has long swept-back hair and saffron clothing with a long rudraksha-style red garland, seated on a ceremonial throne.
