A man seated on an ornate golden throne speaks into a microphone on a stand at right. He wears a leopard-print turban with a red tilak on his forehead, gold hoop earrings, and a thick garland of red roses, white flowers and yellow marigolds with green leaves. He has a rust-red garment, gold chain necklaces with a large pendant, gold bangles and red-beaded wrist threads. Leopard-print cushions support his arms and seat. Behind him an elaborately carved gold backdrop fills the frame. Appearance-based candidate: Swamiji (probable), seated in the central position on the throne, distinguished by the leopard-print turban, ornate gold jewellery and garland, with the throne as the setting for a discourse.
