A bearded man with long dark hair sits cross-legged on a ceremonial seat on red stone steps outdoors, wearing an orange-brown robe with a rudraksha mala over his shoulders and a holding a silver staff topped with an ornament. A saffron-clad attendant with a fan-like device and a seated woman in white stand nearby, and a pink umbrella and fringed golden canopy shelter the scene. Brass oil lamps and a kalasha-style vessel rest on a patterned rug in front of him, with a leopard-print cloth beneath the seat. Several devotees in white and orange sit on the steps behind. Appearance-based cues: long hair, rudraksha mala and orange robe, consistent with Swamiji (probable) seated on a peetha during the event.
