A seated man on an ornate gilded throne in a temple-like hall receives pada-puja. He wears a red turban, purple dhoti and a red-and-gold shawl, with a long white-and-yellow flower garland draped from his neck and a rudraksha-style mala visible at the chest, and he holds a silver staff upright. The throne is framed by a multicolored flower arch of red, yellow, purple and white blooms, with golden lion-head armrests and a golden footrest strewn with flowers. Brass hanging oil lamps and a gilded canopy surround him. A single person is physically present; the appearance cues are a red turban, ornate clothing and garlands, so this is a probable Swamiji candidate.
