On the far right, a man in an ornate silver throne with a leopard-print cushion wears a red-orange turban, a red-orange robe and a long gold-coloured pendant necklace, with hands folded and a smiling expression; a person candidate by the cues of red turban, ornate gold necklace and throne, so a person is set to unsure. To his left, three elderly bearded men sit in silver chairs: one in pink-orange robes with a yellow shawl, one in orange robes with a rudraksha-style mala, and one in white robes with a yellow shawl and an orange cap. Three decorative umbrellas in red, blue and pink stand behind them.2018-01-05Photograph of a stage with an ornate silver-and-white throne on the right, occupied by a figure in saffron-orange robes, rudraksha malas and an orange turban, seated with hands folded and smiling.

Three men in saffron-orange robes sit on ornate gold-and-wood thrones at right; the central figure has a long grey beard and rudraksha beads, while the figure at far right has long dark hair, glasses and hands folded in anjali. A woman in a brown sari bends forward to offer something toward them.

Behind him a bald attendant in an orange-brown cloth and wooden bead necklace leans in to adjust the mask, with a red, green and white floral garland hanging at upper left and a dark purple sparkling backdrop. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, saffron robe, rudraksha mala and throne are consistent with the page's claim, but the appearance is not conclusive, so this is a seated devotee-style figure in an orange robe on a throne. A gold-framed throne and ceremonial setting suggest a staged stage event.2016-12-21Outdoor stage event with a purple draped backdrop and marigold garlands.
