A man seated on an ornate silver throne encrusted with jewel-coloured stones in green, red, blue and purple. He wears a rust-red wrap over bare shoulders, heavy gold chains, a gold pendant and bangles, with pink and white flower garlands draped across his chest. A striped orange-and-black tiger-print cushion rests behind him. A white vibhuti mark is on his forehead, and he gazes upward with a smile. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, a bare-chested figure with distinctive ceremonial gold necklaces and garlands, seated in an ornate throne as a central figure of the event.
