A seated man with eyes closed on an ornate silver throne with lion and elephant-style carvings, wearing a maroon turban with gold ornament, rose-and-white flower garlands, a gold pendant necklace and rudraksha bracelets, dressed in maroon robes. Leopard-print cushions sit beneath him, a silver staff stands at his side, and a microphone is at right. Behind the throne is a backdrop of red and gold temple imagery. Swamiji (probable): long hair is not visible, but the maroon turban, ornate gold necklaces, rudraksha bracelets and throne presence are distinctive ceremonial cues for the presiding role.
