A figure with long dark hair and a red bindi sits on an ornate gilded throne with carved lion armrests and a gold-framed back, set against deep maroon velvet drapes. The figure wears an orange-saffron garment, a red and green flower garland, a gold ceremonial necklace, bangles and earrings. A small gilded footstool and a patterned rug sit in front. The image is a photograph; the seated person is shown on a stage-like platform. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, a bindi, a flower garland and gold ornaments on a throne, which are the presentation cues used for the candidate.
