A bearded man in a maroon-brown turban and draped maroon robes stands on a stage holding a silver trident, wearing a heavy gold necklace, a pink and white flower garland, and bangles. Behind him is a large golden throne with red cushions, a painted backdrop of a four-armed deity murti with a crescent moon crown, and a golden tree. A gold trident and a brass lamp stand flank the stage, along with a carved golden pillar and a microphone stand. Swamiji (probable): the turban, saffron-brown robes, rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and ceremonial gold ornaments match the candidate's presentation, so this is the person standing on stage.
