A man stands on a raised red stage in front of an ornate golden arch and jewelled backdrop, lit with warm orange haze. He wears a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with gold trim, a crescent-shaped headpiece with long swept-back hair, heavy gold chains and rudraksha-style beads, and gold armbands. He raises his left hand holding a silver-pink trident staff and rests his right hand on his hip. Beside him stands a glittering gold and red kalasha-like ornament, and behind him a tiger-striped cloth draped over a golden throne-like seat. Appearance-based candidate: Swamiji (probable), shown in person in ceremonial dress with distinctive hair, crown-like headpiece and gold necklaces.
