A photograph of a stage set for a seated figure in an orange-saffron robe on a large ornate gold throne with carved arch and red cushions. The seated figure has long dark hair and a beard, with arms spread on the armrests and eyes closed. Behind the throne stands a large dark statue of a deity with a cobra hood overhead, draped with multicoloured flower garlands on both sides. A golden trident stands to the left of the throne, and a patterned red and blue cloth covers the platform. Overhead, rows of stage lights hang from a truss beneath a wooden ceiling, and a large backdrop shows a starry night sky. Gold drapery frames the sides of the hall. This is a photo of a stage set; the seated figure is a probable Swamiji by his long hair, saffron robe and gold throne setting.
