A seated man smiles broadly while looking down at a small handheld device, with a headset microphone visible near his face. He wears a deep magenta turban with a jewelled brooch, a purple dhoti-style garment, a red-and-gold shawl draped over one shoulder, multiple strands of gold beaded necklaces, gold armlets and bangles, and a red kumkum dot on his forehead. He sits on an ornate gold-and-red velvet throne, beside a large gold lion sculpture and a backdrop of garlands in yellow, pink and red marigolds. The appearance is consistent with the Swamiji (probable) candidate, shown with a turban, ornate gold jewellery and saffron-and-red ceremonial dress, seated on a throne.
