A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne (peetha) decorated with white jasmine garlands and marigold and purple flower garlands, under a gilded canopy with hanging golden finials. The central figure with long dark hair wears a saffron-orange robe, speaks into a microphone on a stand and gestures with one hand. To the left, two seated men are partly visible: one in white clothes and bald, and a younger man in orange robes wearing a gold chain necklace. A brass kalasha-style vessel with a green leafy sprig stands at the base of the throne on a red-draped stage against a black curtain. Swamiji (probable): the central figure has long swept-back hair and saffron-orange clothing on a ceremonial throne, so this is an in-person candidate, appearance-based.
