A seated man in an ornate golden crown and rust-orange robes sits cross-legged on a striped tiger-skin cushion atop a gold-framed swing decorated with red, pink and white flower garlands. He wears a long gold-and-bead necklace, rudraksha-style mala and a flower garland, with his palms raised in a blessing gesture. Behind him stand large painted orange deity murtis with multiple arms beside a gold-studded wooden door, and a silver pot and brass lamp stands flank the stage. Swamiji (probable): long hair and ceremonial gold necklace with orange robes, seated as the central figure on the dais.
