He wears an orange-saffron robe with a gold border, a long gold-beaded necklace and rudraksha-style beads, and his hands are pressed together in namaskar. Golden lion-like armrests and flower garlands surround the dais, with a woven bamboo-textured backdrop behind. Flowers and water bottles sit on the dais at the sides.

A seated man in an ornate gold throne with red cushions makes a pranam gesture with palms pressed together at chest level. He wears a saffron-orange robe draped over his shoulders and a long rudraksha mala with multiple strands around his neck, and his long hair is swept back. A microphone on a stand stands in front of the throne on a red carpet. Behind him are gold-leaf ornaments, an elaborate golden canopy, garlands of yellow and purple flowers hanging from the top, and a carved stone shrine with a small deity murti in a niche. The appearance fits the Swamiji candidate with several cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and a throne setting, though the identity is only appearance-based.
