A central figure seated on an ornate gold throne with a large cobra-hood canopy, wearing a rust-coloured turban, layered gold and pearl necklaces, and draped tiger-skin cloth, hands raised in blessing. A golden trident stands behind the throne against a purple and blue backdrop painted with a deity murti. Flanking devotees sit in prayer pose with palms joined: a woman in orange and a man in white dhoti with gold necklaces on the left, and two women in white and gold-bordered saris with gold necklaces on the right. Brass lion figures and a golden bull sit on the stage floor. The central figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), seated on the peetha with a turban, saffron-toned garments and rudraksha-style necklaces.
