A seated man smiles on an ornate gold throne carved with lion heads and upholstered in red velvet with a red tiger-stripe cushion. He wears a cream-coloured turban with a small red bindi on his forehead, a white dhoti-style garment with a tan shawl over one shoulder, a long necklace of rudraksha-style beads and a ceremonial gold bead necklace, plus beaded armbands. He rests his hands on his lap beside a ceremonial staff with a white handle. Golden decorative panels and a painted pink-and-blue backdrop frame the stage. A probable Swamiji (long dark hair not visible, but ceremonial turban, rudraksha malas and throne cues are present), seated in a position of honour. Copyright text reads on the right edge.
