A man seated on an ornate red-and-silver throne before a gold-patterned backdrop, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a rust-orange turban with a vertical vibhuti mark on his forehead, a rust-orange shawl and dhoti with gold borders, a gold chain, gold earrings and a long garland of white and pink flowers. He holds a silver staff topped with a figure of a bull, and his bare feet rest on the platform. Several rust-orange and red bangles are on his wrist. A candidate matching the Swamiji (probable) cues of a saffron-toned turban, ornate gold jewellery, floral garland and ceremonial seating is physically present, with the bull-topped staff as a distinctive ceremonial object. Appearance-based only, no face-based identification.
