A man seated on an ornate gilded throne decorated with a garland of yellow, purple, red and green flowers, wearing a turquoise turban with a red tilak mark, a turquoise shawl and dhoti, and a double strand of gold and crystal beads around his neck. He sits with his hands clasped and feet resting on a gold footstool. A green parrot perches on the throne's upper edge. Behind him an orange backdrop shows Kannada text and a spiral motif. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable) seated in the throne, an in-person candidate with turban, turquoise robes and rudraksha-style beads; identity is inferred from the page, not the face.
