A seated man with long dark hair, wearing a white dhoti-style garment with gold border and a bare upper body, sits on a large orange-red upholstered throne-like chair on a stage. He wears a multicoloured flower garland with a bead mala, and his hands are pressed together at his chest while he smiles broadly. Two young women in orange and white garments sit beside the stage at right. The backdrop is decorated with pink and yellow geometric panels, flower garlands hang from the top, and white cloth and scattered flower petals cover the stage floor. The swami is an appearance-based a person (long hair, garland, ceremonial white clothing and seated dais), so the identity is only probable.
