A seated man on a red velvet throne with a gilded lotus-petal backrest, wearing a maroon-red turban with a crescent ornament, a maroon-red robe, a rudraksha mala and a heavy ceremonial gold pendant, with a long garland of white and purple flowers around his neck. He is the central figure, appearing as Swamiji (probable) on the basis of his distinctive turban, ornate clothing and gold necklaces. Around him, attendants in white dhotis and saffron-red blouses perform ritual service: a man in white with long rudraksha malas and a shaved, white-marked head leans in at left while a boy in white stands near the throne, a woman in orange-red attire attends at right, and a woman in white with a gold necklace holds a thread, and a man in white kneels in front at lower right. Gold and brass temple lamps and ornamental decor fill the background.

He wears a long layered rudraksha-style mala and a gold ceremonial necklace, and one hand is extended. Around him, devotees in white dhotis and saris with gold borders bow and attend: a man in white with a gold-bordered dhoti rests a hand on the head of a bowing person in white, and a woman in a white sari holds up a small paper, while others in orange garments stand nearby. A brass lamp stands at the left and a gold-edged dais sits below the throne. The appearance matches the a person cues of saffron clothing, turban and mala on the throne, so the seated figure is a person in person.2015-11-22July 08 20172017-07-08 +1 copiesJuly 17 20162016-07-17 +1 copies
