A seated bearded man in a saffron-brown robe with a red-and-white turban-like cloth, wearing a rudraksha-style mala and garland, sits on a red-cushioned silver throne on a raised stage. Behind him stand a golden deity murti with a crown and a golden lion-shaped carving, and a golden canopied pavilion with a portrait and framed photos on a gold-draped table. A standing attendant in orange robes and a bare upper body, wearing a beaded mala, holds a lit flame or oil lamp toward the pavilion. Potted plants, a microphone stand and a pedestal fan surround the stage. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, a crown-like turban, saffron clothing and a mala, consistent with a candidate; appearance is an appearance-based label only.
