A stage at an indoor hall with red curtains and a gold-leaf tree canopy above a large ornate golden throne. Seated on the central throne is a bearded man with long hair, wearing a rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace over a reddish-brown robe; a trident stands beside him and a ritual lamp rests nearby. Flanking him, a monk in orange and a man in a green-and-blue shawl sit on the left, while a man in white with an orange shawl and a woman in a maroon-and-gold sari sit on the right, all on golden thrones decorated with carved deity figures. Four physical people are visible on the stage. The central figure has distinctive long hair, a rudraksha mala and gold necklace, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) seated in person.
