A seated man in a rust-orange saffron wrap draped over his shoulders sits on an ornate golden-carved leather throne with lion-head armrests. He holds a thin wooden stick in one hand and gestures with the other palm open, smiling and looking down toward a Yamaha DTX electronic drum pad on a stand in front of him. A small red bindi and white markings are on his forehead, a beaded blue bracelet is on his wrist, and a small microphone is clipped near his face. Blurred heads of seated audience members fill the foreground. The appearance-based candidate for Swamiji is visible with long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, so he is labelled Swamiji (probable).
