A man in an ornate gold-and-brown throne with carved lion arms sits centrally, wearing a dark swept-back hairstyle, a red-orange draped garment with a golden waist sash, long rudraksha malas across his chest, a green bead mala and a gold pendant; he has a small red tilak on his forehead and a headset microphone. He rests one forearm on the armrest and gestures with the other hand. A silver trident stands to the left. Behind him a large seated audience in front of a dark stage backdrop, several wearing saffron scarves, glasses and white or pink clothing. Swamiji (probable): the swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and saffron clothing fit the candidate's presentation, so he is treated as present in person.
