A man stands centre stage before a large ornate golden arch against a glowing red-orange drape. He wears a leopard-print sleeveless garment over orange drawstring trousers, with long rudraksha mala strands across his chest and waist, a rudraksha bracelet on each arm and ankle, and a red tilak on his forehead. He holds a silver trident in his left hand, and his right hand rests on his hip. His eyes are closed and he appears to be speaking into a headset microphone. Visual cues: long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and saffron-orange clothing, consistent with the appearance of the Swamiji candidate, but identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
