A man seated on an ornate golden throne with a carved arched back and golden lion-face armrests, draped in a rich red-orange cloth with yellow borders. He wears a red-orange turban with a small red bindi, a long tulsi-style beaded mala with a gold pendant, gold armbands and bangles, and is barefoot. A tall gold trident stands at the right, and a red velvet curtain forms the backdrop with a tiger-striped cushion beneath him. Swamiji (probable): the candidate shows a red-orange turban, ornate gold ceremonial necklace and rudraksha-style mala, and wears saffron-orange clothing, with a throne and trident marking his seat of honour. He is smiling and seated in a stage setting, a single person in the frame.
