A man seated on a gilded golden chair shaped with a bull-headed (nandi-like) front, dressed in saffron-orange robes and a maroon-red turban with a jewelled ornament, wearing multiple strands of gold and beaded necklaces, rudraksha-style beads and bangles, with long dark hair swept up behind. He holds a golden trident (trishul) staff in his left hand and extends his right arm toward the audience. A red velvet cushion rests on the seat. Behind him are red velvet drapes, golden lamp stands and a blue backdrop. A large seated audience in the foreground, many in red, orange and white, watches attentively. Swamiji (probable): the seated man's long swept-back hair, turban and saffron robes with ceremonial gold necklaces match the candidate cues; he is presented as the speaker at the centre of the event.
