A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged on a gold-upholstered armchair in front of an ornate gold throne-back carved with floral motifs. Both hands are raised above his head, palms together, eyes closed, as in a guided meditation. He wears a rudraksha mala and a gold pendant necklace, a red bindi on his forehead, and a gold armlet. A microphone stands at his side, and a sheet of paper rests on the armrest. Behind him, yellow, green and blue patterned pillars flank the stage. Appearance-based candidate: Swamiji (probable), identified by long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and gold necklace while seated on a throne-like seat.
