A bearded man with a tilak and long hair sits cross-legged on a tiger-striped seat in front of a gilded bull statue, smiling with eyes closed in a seated pose. He wears a rust-orange saffron cloth draped over his shoulders and bare chest, a heavy gold necklace with a large gold pendant, and a red bindi. Behind him stand a large gilded deity murti with multiple arms in ornate jewellery, a red curtain, tall brass lamps and green leafy foliage. An orange cup and a green object sit on a small side table. Swamiji (probable): long hair, orange saffron clothing and ornate gold pendant with bindi, seated in a central throne-like position as the event's guru.
