A seated man on an ornate gold throne on a stage speaks into a microphone. He wears an orange-red sannyasi robe, a rudraksha mala and a gold-toned necklace, and his long dark hair is swept back. The throne and its backrest are heavily garlanded with orange, yellow, white and purple flowers, with a red cushion and a red drape behind him. To the left stands a gold peacock-shaped throne, with a golden statue of a saint in orange robes and a red turban garlanded with flowers. Brass oil lamps with flames stand between the thrones, and a dark blue curtain serves as backdrop. The swamiji cue is a probable match: long swept-back hair, orange robes, rudraksha and gold necklace, seated in the honoured position.
