A seated man with long dark hair and eyes closed sits on an ornate gold throne with a large carved gold backrest and red cushion. He wears an orange saffron wrap over his shoulders and a long dark rudraksha mala with large beads hanging to his waist. A white vertical tilak marks his forehead with a red bindi at its centre, and his hands rest together in his lap. Behind him, blurred deity figures are decorated with yellow and red flower garlands. The man has long, swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a rudraksha mala, matching the page's Swamiji cues, so he is a probable in-person candidate.
