A bearded man in a rust-orange turban and orange-red robes sits cross-legged with eyes closed and hands clasped on a gilded golden throne with lion-head armrests draped in pink cloth. He wears a heavy orange-gold beaded necklace, gold bangles and gold earrings. Beside him stands a golden trident and a gold ornamental staff. Behind him, a crowd of seated devotees watches under strings of coloured tassels and lights at night, with a yellow flower garland at the lower right. The swami figure has distinctive saffron-orange clothing, a turban and ornate gold jewellery, consistent with the page's identification, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) seated in person during an evening ceremony.
