A bearded man with long braided hair wearing an orange-brown robe, a matching saffron turban, and a long gold-beaded mala sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne in a large hall, smiling toward the audience. A tall silver trident stands beside the throne, with a small tablet and offerings on a table at his side. Seated devotees fill the foreground and rows behind, many in white, saffron and bright blue saris and kurtas. A large screen above shows a close-up of the same figure in a turban and trident-style setting. The appearance matches the Swamiji (probable) cues of long hair, saffron turban, ornate robes and mala on a throne, so the candidate is present in person.
