A seated man in orange saffron robes and a multicoloured striped turban sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushioned back, a lion-form carved armrest and a gold-framed crest at the top. Garlands of beads hang around his neck and a flag of Mexico is held in his hand. Beside him, a man in white clothing with a beaded necklace sits at a table holding a microphone to his chin. In front are a video camera on a tripod, laptops, a projector and stacked books on a blue draped table. A palm plant stands at left, a black-and-white forest photograph forms the backdrop, and white curtains hang at right. The appearance-based candidate on the throne is a probable Swamiji, distinguished by the turban, saffron robes and bead garlands, presented here in an in-person setting.
