A man with a full dark beard and long hair sits cross-legged on a carved wooden throne with a leopard-print cushion, in a stage setting. He wears an orange-brown cloth draped over his body, a rudraksha mala, and a gold pendant necklace, with gold armbands. Behind him stands a gold-toned statue of a deity couple beneath green leafy foliage and a red draped backdrop. Potted plants, brass lamps, pots, bowls of red fruit, and a brass kalasha-like vessel sit on a striped rug. Swamiji (probable): the seated man's long hair, rudraksha mala, gold necklace and saffron-orange clothing match the page's Swamiji claim, so he is marked as an in-person candidate.
