A man seated on a cream-upholstered throne-style chair in a flower-decorated setting. He wears an orange turban with a red forehead mark, an orange and gold wrap, a long gold bead necklace and gold bangles, with a headset microphone at his ear. His hands rest on the chair arms. Behind him is a wall of yellow, red, purple and white marigold and flower garlands, with a wooden carved canopy and a stone pillar at left and a brass kalasha-style vessel near his feet. Appearance-based candidate present: Swamiji (probable), identified by orange saffron clothing, ornate gold necklace and long swept-back hair with a turban; this is a visual cue only, not a confirmed identity.
