A photograph of a golden stage decorated for Karthigai Deepam, with a seated man in a rust-red robe and red turban and rudraksha mala at centre, one hand raised in discourse before a microphone stand. He sits on a silver throne in front of a gilded bull (Nandi) and a gold-framed deity murti garlanded with yellow and red flowers. Gold standing figures flank the throne, and seated deities garlanded with flowers sit in gold-arched niches on each side. Rows of brass vessels with fruit and offerings, and gold oil lamps, fill the foreground, while strings of lights and colourful cloth canopies hang overhead. The seated man is an appearance-based probable candidate with his red-robed, rudraksha-adorned presentation and turban, so the Swamiji candidate is recorded as in_person.
