A man in a rust-red and saffron draped robe sits on an ornate gilded throne with lion-head armrests and red tiger-striped cushions, set against a painted temple-style backdrop with lotus motifs. He wears a saffron and maroon turban-style headpiece with a small emblem, a long rudraksha mala, and beaded bracelets, and gestures with one hand while smiling. Swamiji (probable): the figure matches the appearance cues of a long-haired, turbaned, saffron-clad seated teacher with rudraksha malas, so this is an in-person candidate. A tiger-skin cloth lies beneath the throne, and a red curtain frames the right edge.
