A smiling bearded man in a rust-red turban with a white jewelled brooch and a red bindi sits before an ornate gold repoussé backdrop shaped like peacock-feather designs. He wears a rust-red shawl over his bare shoulder, long gold beaded necklaces, a gold pendant, and red beaded armbands. He holds a white cup in one hand and raises a black phone in the other. Leopard-print fabric covers the seat. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces, rudraksha-style adornment and ornate seating suggest the Swamiji candidate, seated in a discourse setting.
