A man seated on a low red-upholstered stage platform before a large copper-toned relief of a deity with multiple arms. He wears a brown turban with a small gold ornament and crescent, a brown dhoti and shawl edged with gold zari, layered gold necklaces, a rudraksha mala, and gold armbands. He has a red tilak on his forehead and a full dark beard, and rests his hands on two gold lion-headed armrests. A potted green plant stands at the right edge. The appearance matches the Swamiji (probable) profile: distinctive ornate gold jewellery, rudraksha mala, turban and saffron-brown ceremonial dress on a throne-like seat, so it is recorded as an in-person candidate.
