A man with long swept-back dark hair and a beard sits on an ornate silver throne with a red velvet seat and cushioned back, wearing a rust-orange robe over a bare upper body, with white paint or markings on his arms and a silver ceremonial staff rising beside him. He is presented as Swamiji (probable), based on the long hair, saffron-orange robe and ceremonial setting. Around him a large seated crowd faces the stage, including a young man with long hair in orange clothing and a young woman in orange-and-white attire.
