A ceremonial golden throne shrine is decorated with a large multicolored flower arch of garlands in red, orange, yellow, purple, green and white. Seated centrally on a yellow cushion is a smiling person in a tall ornate crown, wearing an orange-red garment with layered gold and beaded necklaces, holding a silver ceremonial staff with a decorative top. Around them, devotees in white and cream dhotis and saris, and a figure in an orange shawl, sit or stand with hands folded in front of lit oil lamps. Gilded carved lions, deity figures and an arched canopy frame the throne. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable) seated on the throne, identified by the crown, ornate gold necklaces and saffron-orange clothing.
