A smiling man seated on an ornate silver throne with carved floral details against a deep red curtain. He wears a rust-red turban with gold and jeweled ornaments and a red tuft, a red fabric wrap over his bare shoulders, a thick gold necklace with a large gold pendant, white and pink flower garlands, and gold armbands with red beads. A tall gold staff stands at left beside an orange cup on a small wooden stool, and a microphone stands at right. Appearance-based candidate: Swamiji (probable), seated on the throne, with long hair under the turban, saffron-toned wrap, rudraksha-style beaded adornments and ceremonial gold necklace.
