A seated man in orange-saffron robes sits on a leopard-print cushioned seat framed by strands of white and yellow flower garlands and red roses. He wears a saffron turban with a peacock-feather ornament, a rudraksha mala, a gold necklace, and gold armlets and bracelets, and holds a decorated ceremonial flute with his eyes closed. A teacup sits on the floor beside a bed of orange and red roses, with red and white tassels and paper lanterns in the background. Appearance-based identification is probable: the saffron turban, ornate gold ornaments, rudraksha mala and flute with peacock feather crown cues suggest Swamiji (probable) seated as the honoured speaker at a Krishna Janmashtami celebration.
