A man seated on an ornate white and red throne in front of deep red drapery, leaning slightly forward with a smile. He wears a tall golden crown with a sunburst-style top, a red-orange ochre dhoti and wrap, a white and pink flower garland, multiple gold necklaces, gold armbands and bangles, and a vertical tilak on his forehead. A small framed portrait sits on a side table beside him, a white staff rests against the chair, and a microphone stand stands nearby. Golden swings or hanging frames flank the stage and a pile of gold-patterned cushions lies at right. Swamiji (probable) is the seated central figure, the presiding guru on the throne, identified by his crown, saffron-ochre clothing and flower garland.
