A seated figure on an ornate gilded throne with a tall golden floral backrest is being honoured with a white and pink flower garland. He wears a rust-orange robe, heavy gold necklaces, a gold crown and bangles, and raises one hand in greeting. Two priests in white dhotis with red and gold borders and a white-saried woman are bending over a cloth-covered platform near his feet, apparently attending to offerings. Golden trident-topped staffs and brass lamp stands flank the throne against a rough stone-textured backdrop. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's orange robe, gold crown and ornate gold necklaces match the appearance-based cues for this presentation, so the figure is labelled as a probable in-person Swamiji.
