A man sits cross-legged on a red cushioned seat in front of an ornate gold throne-back with floral and sunburst relief. He wears a blue unstitched wrap with a silver border over one shoulder, a rudraksha mala draped across his chest and a red bindi with white vertical forehead markings. His eyes are closed and his palms are pressed together in anjali mudra before a microphone on a stand. A red banner with gold lettering appears behind the throne. Cues here are the long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and ceremonial throne setting, which match the Swamiji (probable) candidate, seated in a discourse setting.
