A smiling man with long dark hair and a short beard sits on an ornate silver throne covered in jewelled, colourful filigree with elephant-head finials. He wears a rust-brown robe, a yellow and white marigold garland with pink flower accents, gold beaded necklaces and a gold pendant, and gold bangles on his arms. Tiger-striped cushions rest on the armrests, and dark foliage and hanging decorations appear behind the throne. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces and the throne with a garland mark him as the central honoured figure in this festival setting.
