A man with long, swept-back black hair sits on an ornate gold-framed throne with a plush red velvet back. He wears a red silk garment with gold embroidered trim and a heavy garland of red roses around his neck. A red kumkum mark is on his forehead. The gold carved frame and red cushion dominate the background. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, red silk robe and rose garland match the candidate; the seated figure is an in-person candidate, so identity remains appearance-based only.
