A man in a maroon-red draped garment with gold trim sits before a large ornate gold-leaf throne carved with floral scrolls and a lion figure. He wears heavy gold ball-bead necklaces, gold armbands and bangles, and a red bindi on his forehead, and plays a maroon drum with wooden sticks, eyes lowered and smiling. Swamiji (probable): his long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold necklaces and saffron-red ornate clothing with a golden throne match the candidate cues, so he is treated as present and seated in the performance.
