A figure in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala and a large ceremonial gold necklace sits on an ornate silver throne on a stage, with a raised hand near the face. Probable Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala cues, seated in the central peetha. Flanking him are a gold-plated bull (nandi) statue draped in a magenta cloth and a decorated silver palanquin-style seat with adorned deity murtis garlanded in pink and white flowers on the left and right. Ceremonial umbrellas with colourful fringes hang overhead, a trident stands beside the throne, and a blue-green backdrop lit by stage lights completes the scene with flower petals on the floor.
