A seated figure on a red and gold throne with golden lion statues flanking it, wearing a red-orange robe, a red-orange turban with a jewelled ornament, a long yellow-and-blue flower garland, a gold necklace and bangles, and holding a rudraksha mala. A shaved-headed priest in orange-brown robes faces the throne and offers a silver ritual implement, while a woman in white with folded hands kneels at the right edge. A large portrait behind shows a smiling man in an orange turban and a Bali-style pavilion with a yellow tasselled canopy above the throne. The Swamiji candidate matches the cues of a seated figure in saffron-red clothing with a turban, garland, gold jewellery and mala, so this is an appearance-based probable identification rather than a confirmed one. Flower offerings and a brass tray sit on the red carpet below.

A seated man in a deep red-orange robe and matching turban with a flower ornament sits on an ornate carved throne with gold scrollwork and armrests. Two golden lion statues flank the throne, and a yellow fringed parasol stands above it. Behind is a large printed backdrop showing a smiling man in an orange turban beside a photo of a Balinese temple with a pagoda-style roof and green landscape. In the foreground, a shaved-headed priest in orange sits with his back to the camera before a tray of brass dishes and offerings. At right, a woman in white with folded hands kneels.

The backdrop shows a printed portrait, not a physical person.2013-12-21 +1 copiesA seated figure in rust-red robes and a maroon turban with a white plume sits on an ornate red and gold throne with golden lion figures at each side.
