A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gilded throne draped with marigold and yellow garlands, under a gold-fringed canopy. He wears a pale cream turban, a white dhoti-style garment, a heavy gold necklace and an armlet, and is barefoot. Beside him stands a gold lion-like vahana with a smaller gold canopy and a garlanded figure of a goddess holding a veena. Behind them a large banner shows a decorated deity face in red and gold with kumkum and flowers, with Kannada script and a partial 'Divine M' caption. A standing fan and dark blue curtain are visible. The seated man is a probable Swamiji candidate by appearance cues: turban, gold necklace and ceremonial throne.
