A figure in orange robes sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne under a saffron and white canopy, decorated with garlands of orange marigolds, purple flowers, red roses and palm fronds. He wears a white flower garland and a red tilak, and holds a silver trident. Two attendants in orange clothing sit nearby, one holding a phone, with a small golden deity murti on a stand and plates of flowers and offerings on the floor. The backdrop is a red and white patterned wall. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, an orange robe, a white garland and a trident, which are distinctive ceremonial cues.
