A man seated cross-legged on a raised stage in front of a large orange-and-gold carved relief of a deity with multiple arms. He wears a rust-brown turban with a small gold crescent ornament, a brown robe with gold border, layered gold and beaded necklaces with a rudraksha mala, gold bangles, and a red tilak on his forehead. His palms are raised beside his face in a gesture of teaching. Two gold lion sculptures flank the seat. Appearance-based candidate: Swamiji (probable), shown in person with long hair under the turban, ornate gold necklaces and saffron-toned clothing; he is seated on a throne-like seat during the event.
