A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne with a deep red arched backdrop, beneath a colourful multi-panel parasol with tassels. He wears a long gold-and-bead mala necklace, gold armlets, a red bindi, and holds his hands together in his lap. Flanking the throne are gold lion-head sculptures on a leopard-print dais, with pink flowers at the sides and a silver staff leaning against the seat. Probable Swamiji: long swept-back hair, rudraksha-style mala and ceremonial gold necklace, saffron clothing and a throne, as a presiding figure in the event.
