A seated man smiles on an ornate golden throne shaped like a cobra with a multi-hooded hood behind him, the seat cushioned in red velvet atop coiled golden serpent bases. He wears a pale pink shawl draped over one shoulder, a yellow dhoti, a gold headband, multiple beaded necklaces and a bangle, and holds a short wooden staff across his lap. Flanking gold-carved panels, a water bottle and microphone sit on a stand, while peacock-feather paintings, marigold garlands and kalasha pots decorate the orange stage backdrop. Swamiji (probable): the seated man is the central figure, identifiable by the throne, the swept-back hair under a crown-like headband, pink and yellow ceremonial dress and layered beads, presented as a stage appearance.
