A smiling man with a trimmed beard sits on an ornate silver throne upholstered with a leopard-print cushion, in front of an elaborately carved silver backdrop. He wears a rust-orange turban decorated with jewelled ornaments, a rust-orange robe, rudraksha beads on his neck and upper arms, and a long multicolour garland of yellow marigolds and white and green flowers. A microphone stands beside him, a silver staff rests on the right, and a silver tray with small brass cups sits on a stand at left. Probable Swamiji: the turban, rudraksha malas and ornate ceremonial setting suggest the figure is the Swamiji presiding over the event.
