A seated man in a rust-brown dhoti and shawl with gold-edged border sits on an ornate gold throne with a leopard-print cushion and a gilded lion-head armrest. He wears layered rudraksha malas, a white-and-red flower garland, a white-and-red tilak on his forehead, and bead bracelets; he raises a silver trident in one hand while smiling. Behind the throne is a tall gold-and-white cobra-hood canopy decorated with flowers. At his feet are brass pots, flower petals and a puja setup, and a shaven-headed man in white and a man with white tilak sit nearby. Behind them a large seated crowd in white clothing fills the background. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and ornate gold throne setting; the seated figure holds a trident on the throne during a ceremony.
