A smiling man in an orange-red turban and matching saffron-red robe sits in a gilded throne with a red tiger-stripe cushion. He holds his palms together in anjali namaskar, a red tilak on his forehead. He wears layered rudraksha malas, ornate gold bead necklaces, rudraksha bracelets and armbands, and a garland of white jasmine and red and green flowers. Behind him are ornate gold carvings. The swamiji candidate has a compatible presentation with a turban, saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklaces, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) seated in person, greeting the audience.
