A seated man smiles on a gilded throne with a red cushioned seat and red-and-gold zebra-striped armrests. He wears a deep maroon turban with a white jewelled brooch, a white dhoti and shawl bordered in red and gold, a multi-strand beaded necklace, a gold pendant, a rudraksha-style mala and gold bangles on the arms. A golden lion sculpture sits at his side. Behind him stands a painted deity murti with four arms, a crown and a red dhoti, and a gilded throne back. A small bird perches on the golden throne arch. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's maroon turban, ornate gold necklace and ceremonial throne match the page's description of Swamiji's presence at the event.
