A man with long dark hair and a bare torso in an orange-red sleeveless top and rust-orange dhoti sits cross-legged on an ornate silver throne decorated with elephant figures and leopard-print cushions. His bare foot rests on a small silver footstool on a patterned rug. Behind him a large backdrop shows a towering South Indian gopuram temple tower and pillared temple halls at sunset. The stage is lit by spotlights, and the throne is the central focus. Swamiji (probable) is seated, identified by long swept-back hair, ornate silver throne and saffron-orange clothing.
