A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged on a red-cushioned dais in front of a deity murti. He has long dark hair swept back, a rudraksha mala, a vertical white-and-red forehead mark and a bare upper arm, and he smiles while gesturing with his hands. Behind him, a large gold-framed niche is decorated with layered yellow, orange and magenta flower garlands around a central deity murti. Flanking the stage are golden standing figures, two gilded arched alcoves with garlanded deity statues, a silver ceremonial staff and a microphone stand, all set against deep red velvet drapes. Swamiji (probable) is identified by the long swept-back hair, saffron robes, rudraksha mala and the central throne-like seat. The seated figure is shown as a physical person on stage.
