A standing man in a white dhoti and cream turban with a long swept-back hairstyle stands on a red-cushioned golden throne beneath a yellow fringed ceremonial umbrella. He wears a multi-strand gold necklace and a garland of yellow and purple flowers hangs on the throne. Behind him is a large orange banner with Kannada script, a stylized goddess face and a red flower garland. At right, an elderly bearded sadhu in orange robes and a saffron turban sits with folded hands in a cushioned chair. Left edge shows a decorated kalasha and a glimpse of a deity murti. Swamiji (probable): the standing man's long swept-back hair, gold necklace and ceremonial white dress with ceremonial umbrella fit a Swamiji candidate, though his face is not used for identification.
