A seated man in a red-maroon robe and layered rudraksha and flower garlands sits in a suspended tulabharam-style swing with white jasmine garlands wrapped around its pole and chains. He wears a gold crown-like headpiece, tilak on the forehead and ornate gold necklaces with bangles. Behind him a gilded throne with red velvet cushions and a tiger-striped cloth stands before a red-lit wall, with a trident leaning at left and a brass lamp at right. Stage-lit ritual setting. Swamiji (probable): the qualifying cues are the crown-like headpiece, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklaces with saffron-red robe, seated on the throne area.
