A man with long dark hair and a trimmed beard sits cross-legged on an ornate silver throne carved with floral scrolls and a large arched backrest, flanked by silver lion or elephant armrests. He wears a sleeveless saffron-orange top and matching orange dhoti-style cloth, a beaded necklace, and holds a small silver ritual implement in one hand. Behind the throne a large backdrop shows a South Indian temple gopuram and pillared corridor at sunset. A small silver stand stands at his side. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, saffron clothing and throne suggest the Swamiji candidate, seated in a ceremonial role on the stage.
