A figure in an orange-red robe and a red turban, with a red and white flower garland and a gold pendant, sits on the throne with hands folded and a slight smile; the turban and robe are distinctive presentation cues, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) seated on the peetha, with a gold and red cushioned seat and a gilded lion-like armrest. Ceremonial staffs with white cloth and a white umbrella with golden fringe stand beside him. Seated devotees in white dhotis and orange-red shawls fill the floor and the back of the hall, with a standing row near a red fire extinguisher cabinet. A brass bowl, a lit oil lamp and a brass lamp stand sit in the foreground, with a garland-draped figure in the lower-left corner.2015-10-21 +1 copiesJanuary 13 20152015-01-13September 10 20152015-09-10July 03 20172017-07-03February 08 20132013-02-08A stage set with deep red drapes and a large golden throne (peetha) with leopard-print cushion, topped by an ornate golden canopy.
