A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on an ornate golden throne with lion-head armrests draped in maroon cushions, resting his hands on the armrests. He wears saffron-orange robes with a yellow border, a red-and-gold rudraksha mala and a ceremonial gold bead necklace, a red bindi on his forehead and gold earrings. A tiger-striped cloth covers the dais. Behind him, gilded arches and a colourful painted deity figure with gold jewellery are visible. Swamiji (probable): the saffron robes, long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and gold necklace on the throne match the candidate's cues.
