A photograph of a bearded man standing on a red stage in front of a gold throne draped with a leopard-print cushion. He wears a brown dhoti-style robe, a long rudraksha mala with a gold pendant, and a heavy pink-and-white flower garland, and holds a tall gold trident with his right hand while his left arm is extended outward. A large painted deity murti with four arms and a crown, surrounded by gold foliage, fills the backdrop, with painted sages and a carved stone pillar at the right. A small framed photo sits on a wooden stool at left. Appearance-based candidate, probable Swamiji (probable): long hair and beard, rudraksha mala and gold ceremonial pendant, shown on stage in the event setting.
