A man with long dark hair sits on an ornate gilded throne with red velvet cushions, wearing an orange saffron robe with gold borders and a long ceremonial gold bead necklace, with a red bindi on his forehead. A wired microphone is clipped to his robe. Behind the throne are garlands of yellow, red and purple flowers and draped pink and teal silk cloths, with a gold deity figure partly visible at the left edge. Fresh flowers rest at the base of the throne. The man has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and gold necklace, consistent with the appearance-based Swamiji (probable) candidate seated on the throne.
