A man seated on an ornate gold-trimmed throne with lion-armrests, wearing a red turban with a red bindi, a red and gold robe, a multi-strand beaded mala and a large gold pendant necklace, holding a silver staff topped with a finial. Behind him stand two gilded deity murti, one holding a trident, with jewelled garlands and crowns, against a draped silver backdrop. Oil lamps stand at the sides of the stage. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's red turban, saffron-red robe, beaded mala and gold pendant match the cues for the candidate.
