A smiling man stands at center in a rust-red draped garment with a matching wrap and gold-toned waist band, hands pressed together in anjali namaskar. He wears a dark turban-style head covering, a thick multi-strand gold necklace with a large gold pendant, gold armlets and bangles, and a dark beaded mala across his chest. Behind him, a seated figure in orange-saffron robes and a rudraksha-style mala sits on a white cushioned platform, and another seated person in red holds a small object. A painted forest backdrop with trees and a peacock fills the stage. Probable Swamiji cues: the dark swept-back turban-style hair, ornate gold jewellery and layered ceremonial dress, shown here as a stage presence greeting the gathering.
