A man with long swept-back dark hair, a red-brown saffron-toned dhoti and shawl with gold borders, and a heavy gold necklace sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne with a silver staff in hand, smiling. A sacred vertical tilak marks his forehead. Around him, seated devotees in white and orange clothing, some with rudraksha malas, face the throne in a hall with pink walls. Silver ceremonial staffs with lion-head finials stand beside the throne. Swamiji (probable) is the seated man on the throne, identified by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, a saffron-toned shawl and ornate gold necklace.
