A seated man in rust-brown robes sits on a red velvet throne with gold lion-shaped armrests, backed by a large arch of marigolds, roses and white flowers in red, yellow, green and white. He wears a long red-and-white flower garland, gold chest ornaments, gold bangles, a dark topknot and a red tilak, and speaks into a microphone on a stand. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron-brown ochre robes, gold ceremonial necklaces and a seated throne position mark him as a candidate. A tiger-skin cloth lies beneath the seat. Gold-painted deity panels frame the background. Only one person is physically visible.
