A man in orange saffron robes and an orange turban with a red jewelled ornament sits on an ornate gold throne decorated with garlands of yellow marigolds, red and purple flowers, white daisies and green leaves. He wears a heavy gold bead necklace with red stones, gold bangles and a small lapel microphone, with bare feet resting on a gold footstool. Gold lion-head armrests flank the seat, and a gold ceremonial staff stands at the right. Behind him is a gold floral arch and a backdrop with white kolam-style patterns. The seated man is presented as a person honoured on the throne; the appearance-based cues are long dark hair, saffron clothing and ornate gold adornments, so he is labelled Swamiji (probable) as a candidate.
