A man seated on an ornate carved black-and-tan throne in front of a deep red velvet curtain, smiling broadly with eyes closed. He wears an orange-saffron garment with a golden border over one shoulder, layered rudraksha malas with a gold ceremonial pendant, and a red bindi on his forehead. A microphone on a stand is positioned near his face, and a sheet of paper rests on the armrest at left. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron robes, rudraksha malas and throne together suggest the Swamiji candidate, seated in a discourse setting. Two tan bolster cushions with orange tassels flank the seat.
