A man seated cross-legged on a golden-lion-armed throne before a large carved relief of a reclining deity, wearing a rust-brown turban with a gold ornament and crescent, a rust-brown dhoti and shawl with gold borders, layered rudraksha malas, a heavy gold necklace and multiple gold armlets and bangles, with a white vertical tilak and red bindu on his forehead. Swamiji (probable) is shown in this photograph seated in the center of the stage; the candidate has a crown-like turban, ornate gold jewelry and saffron-toned clothing, and is in person.
