A seated man in orange-saffron robes sits on an ornate gold throne with a red velvet seat and a tiger-skin style cushion, a sandalwood or red tilak on his forehead, layered red-orange beaded necklaces with a gold pendant, and gold armlets. Lit brass oil lamps hang and stand on either side of the shrine-like archway with strings of beads behind. To the left, a shaven-headed young man in orange garments sits with hands folded, and to the right two women in white and red sarees sit on the floor, one holding a small offering. The floor reflects the golden throne and lamps. The man on the throne is an appearance-based probable Swamiji candidate: long swept-back hair, orange robes, layered rudraksha-style malas and gold ornaments, seated in a ceremonial setting. Visible ritual setting includes oil lamps, a satsang-style darshan with devotees.
