He wears a rust-orange shawl over a maroon top, and a red thread on his wrist. Behind him stands a bronze statue of Nataraja, dancing within a flame arch, with a red wall and a pillar beside him. A small figure in leopard-print cloth and a dark head are at the lower edge. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, an orange shawl and a rudraksha-style presence on a throne, consistent with the event's courtyard initiation session.
