A man seated on a red-cushioned throne at a stage, wearing a tall gold crown with a radiant gold headpiece, a rust-red robe, gold chest ornaments, a gold pendant, and layered garlands of white and pink flowers. He holds a silver staff topped with a finial, and a silver cobra-headed staff stands to his left. Strings of white beads hang beside him. Behind him stands a large painted statue of a multi-armed deity in orange-red dhoti with a green cloth and gold waistband. Gold-bordered yellow and red banners appear at the left edge against a wooden panelled wall. The seated man is smiling, and the scene resembles a ceremonial stage setting. Swamiji appearance cues are present: ornate crown, rudraksha-style gold necklaces and a robe in ceremonial colour, so the candidate is an appearance-based probable Swamiji (probable) seated in person.
