A single seated man on a carved dark wooden throne-like bench with leopard-print cushions, lit by a spotlight against a black stage backdrop. He wears a red-orange turban, a rudraksha mala and layered beaded necklaces, bangles on his arms and an orange-red dhoti-style garment with gold trim, with bare feet resting on a patterned rug. A silver serpent-headed staff stands to his left. Appearance cues (turban, orange garments, rudraksha mala and ceremonial necklaces) fit the Swamiji candidate, so this is a probable identification on a stage setting.
