A man with long, swept-back dark curly hair sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushioning, wearing a saffron-orange garment and a long rudraksha mala with large beads and a gold clasp. He has a white vertical mark on his forehead and is reaching toward a golden ritual vessel on a tray at lower left. Behind him stands a young attendant in white dhoti with gold border and a white shirt, wearing a wristband. The man's rudraksha mala, saffron clothing, long hair and throne match distinctive presentation cues, so this appearance-based candidate is labelled Swamiji (probable) as the seated person presiding over the ceremony.
