A seated man in orange-saffron robes sits on an ornate gilded throne with red cushions, hands pressed together in namaste at chest level, with a red tilak on his forehead and long dark hair. Beside him stands a golden statue of a figure in orange robes with a jewelled necklace and orange headwear, both framed by garlands of yellow, purple and white flowers and green leaves. The scene resembles a festival or temple-style ceremony with decorated deity murti and flower garlands. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears saffron robes, long hair and a tilak, and the page identifies him as the event's central figure.
