A seated man sits on an ornate wooden throne with cushions and a red cloth, wearing an orange-red dhoti or robe, a white flower garland, and gold and beaded necklaces, with a rudraksha mala. Behind him is a golden deity murti of a seated figure with a child, framed by green foliage. Brass lamps and kalasha-style pots flank the stage, with decorated wooden doors and colourful hanging cloth panels on each side, and a striped woven rug covers the floor. Swamiji (probable) is seated at the centre, with his long hair and saffron clothing as the qualifying cues.

A seated figure sits on an ornate carved wooden throne with cushions and a leopard-print cloth. The figure wears orange-brown robes and a white flower garland, with a long dark beard and hair. Behind the throne is a golden deity murti of a seated goddess with a child, framed by a green leafy backdrop. Potted plants and terracotta pots sit on a striped woven rug. The seated figure appears to be a statue or mannequin rather than a live person, so no physical people are counted. Swamiji is probable as a depiction of the figure on the throne, based on the long hair and beard, saffron robes and garland; the figure looks like a wax-style statue with a fixed pose.2017-01-22January 22 20172017-01-22 +1 copiesJanuary 22 20172017-01-22
