A seated man on an ornate cream upholstered throne with dark carved wooden arms reads from a clipboard holding white paper. He wears a white turban with a red bindi, a beige cloth wrap over bare shoulders, and a heavy necklace of large gold beads. A microphone on a stand sits at right, with blue drapery behind. Swamiji (probable): the turban, gold bead necklace and wrapped ceremonial clothing are visible cues, and he is physically present on the throne, so the candidate is in person. A white placard is visible at lower left and a second sheet of paper lies on the armrest at right.
