A seated man in an ornate gilded throne with red cushions on a red-carpeted stage, wearing a rust-orange unstitched robe over bare shoulders and bare feet, with long dark hair falling down his back and a short beard. He sits in profile looking to the side with hands resting on the armrests. Beside him stand tall brass ceremonial staffs topped with a trident, a gilded stand holds a small black device, and a brass kalasha-like vessel sits near the throne. Behind, a seated audience fills the hall beneath red drapery and a large screen showing an image. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, a saffron-orange robe and a peetha-style throne, with the presentation cues qualifying as a candidate in person.
