A smiling man sits on an ornate gold throne with a leopard-print cushioned armrest, a microphone on a stand beside him. He wears a rust-red turban with jewelled ornaments and a feather, a matching red-orange wrap draped over his shoulders and body, red beaded armlets and bracelets, and a jewelled waist belt. Behind him a large gilded carved backrest and golden lion heads frame the seat. Swamiji (probable): the saffron-red turban and wrap, jewelled ornaments and seated throne presentation match the candidate, so the presence is recorded as in-person but the identity is inferred from appearance cues only.
