A seated figure in a red-orange robe and a gold pendant necklace sits with eyes closed on an ornate silver-and-red throne at the front of a hall. Long dark hair falls past his shoulders and a tilak marks his forehead. Around him, a dense crowd of devotees in saffron and orange garments and white ritual clothes sit on the floor. Silver ceremonial staffs topped with a trident and a finial stand beside the throne, and a silver stand with a crown-like ornament sits nearby. Behind them, a large gold-toned shrine with a deity murti is framed by red drapes, and a camera on a tripod stands at the back. The seated figure matches the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues: long swept-back hair, saffron-toned robe and ornate gold necklace, seated on a throne being honoured.
