A seated man with long hair sits on a flower-decorated throne with eyes closed and palms pressed together in namaste. He wears a golden crown with a peacock feather, a white dhoti with gold border, a garland of white and multicoloured flowers, and a gold necklace. A woman in a white sari stands at left with a trident beside her. Behind the throne is a large arched backdrop of flowers, mirrors and red, yellow and white decorations, with brass oil lamps and flower vases in front. Swamiji (probable): the seated man's long hair, golden crown, garlands and ceremonial white and gold clothing fit the page's account of the 29th Jayanti celebration at Bengaluru Aadheenam.
