A smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair sits on a raised seat decorated with red cushions, an orange towel and garlands of yellow and red flowers, wearing a cream turban and a leopard-print shawl over a cream kurta with gold trim. He wears a heavy gold necklace. Behind him to the left, a man in white dhoti with gold-bordered shawl and a tilak on his forehead stands beside a silver tray of fruit, and another man in white wears an orange shawl. A large golden deity murti rises behind the flower decoration. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, cream turban, shawl and gold necklace are the cues for the seated figure, who receives the event's honours.
