A seated man in an ornate golden throne with carved gilded backrest, wearing a saffron-orange robe with gold border draped over his shoulders and a heavy gold bead necklace with a pendant. He has long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi with white markings on his forehead, hands folded in his lap. Red cushions rest on the armrests of the cream-coloured throne and a small microphone is visible at the lower edge. The swamiji candidate is identifiable as Swamiji (probable) from appearance cues: long hair, saffron clothing, gold necklace and ornate throne; this is one person seated, not a statue or screen.
