A seated man in an orange-red shawl and a red turban with long dark hair and a full beard sits on a golden throne decorated with a golden bull figure, holding a small ceremonial implement in his raised right hand. He wears a leopard-print skirt, a gold necklace and a rudraksha mala, with gold armbands. A tall golden trident stands beside him. Behind him a large crowd sits in a hall with hanging orange and yellow lanterns and two large screens showing pink and white imagery. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure with turban, long hair, orange shawl, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace is a candidate for the Swamiji presence noted on the page.
