A seated man sits on an ornate throne with a gold-toned arched backrest and carved golden lion-head armrests, framed by a large arch of red, pink, yellow, purple and green flowers. He wears a saffron-brown garment, a long gold necklace of ceremonial beads, and a white and pink flower garland draped over his shoulders, with a red bindi and a tilak on his forehead. Brass hanging lamps with bells hang on either side of the throne. This appears to be a seated satsang or darshan setting. The swamiji candidate shows long swept-back hair and ceremonial gold necklaces, so identity is probable from appearance cues, though a clear face-based match is not made.
