A man sits on a red cushioned throne with an ornate gold-leaf carved back, looking to the side and smiling. He has a bushy black beard and hair, a white sandalwood-paste tripundra mark on his forehead with a red kumkum dot at the centre, and wears a rust-red-orange draped sannyasi cloth over his shoulders and chest with a long white flower garland around his neck. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron-orange clothing and a white flower garland are visible cues, and the page identifies this event as featuring Swamiji, so the appearance-based candidate is seated in person on the throne. Background is dark blue with a gold ornamental edge at right.
